Trump Plans Meeting with Kim Jong Un, Cites North Korea's 57 Nuclear Weapons
US President Donald Trump stated that North Korea possesses 57 "very powerful" nuclear weapons and indicated plans to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, potentially during a trip to China for an APEC summit. Trump also ordered the Pentagon to reduce joint military exercises with South Korea, citing his good relationship with Kim. The two leaders previously met three times between 2018 and 2019, but have not met during Trump's current term. Experts have varied in their estimates of North Korea's nuclear arsenal.
