Prospects Dim for Trump-Kim Meeting Ahead of November APEC Summit
US and South Korean officials see little chance of a Trump-Kim meeting this year, with North Korea not responding to US outreach ahead of the November APEC summit in Shenzhen. While President Trump has expressed openness to talks, Pyongyang appears disengaged, focusing instead on strengthening ties with Russia and China amid ongoing sanctions. Experts suggest North Korea may prefer maintaining the status quo rather than resuming negotiations, as previous summits failed to yield lasting agreements.
