Trump Seeks Meeting with Kim Jong Un During November Asia-Pacific Summit

Trump Seeks Meeting with Kim Jong Un During November Asia-Pacific SummitPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump is seeking to arrange a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as early as this autumn, potentially during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November in Shenzhen, China. This move aims to revive diplomacy over North Korea's nuclear program, which has strengthened since their previous summits. While Trump views the meeting as an opportunity to restart dialogue, some analysts and officials express skepticism about significant progress and caution about potential impacts on regional alliances.
