Trump Seeks November Meeting with Kim Jong Un Amid Diplomatic Efforts

Analysed 19 Aug 2026·5 sources analysed·Shenzhen, China·Politics
Trump Seeks November Meeting with Kim Jong Un Amid Diplomatic EffortsPreviousNext

US President Donald Trump is reportedly seeking to arrange a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as early as November during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China. This move aims to revive diplomatic efforts over North Korea's nuclear program, following three previous summits between the two leaders from 2018 to 2019. While no formal plans have been made and Pyongyang's response is uncertain, the US and South Korea are concurrently scaling back joint military exercises, signaling a potential shift in regional engagement.
