President Donald Trump has announced plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, emphasizing that maintaining open dialogue with Pyongyang is positive given North Korea's nuclear capabilities.
In an impromptu White House meeting with reporters, the president touted his relationship with Kim and said North Korea has “57 very powerful nuclear weapons.”
President Trump wants to meet again with Kim Jong Un to discuss denuclearization, the Wall Street Journal reports, despite having nothing to show for 3 previous summits.
President Trump told reporters that he expects to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year. NBC News' Courtney Kube reports on the comments shortly after the president announced military exercises with South Korea would be scaled back.
