Trump open to communication with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un

Investing.com -- President Donald Trump is open to receiving messages from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

"The president remains receptive to correspondence with Kim Jong Un," Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday.

During his first presidential term from 2017 to 2021, Trump and Kim held three summit meetings and exchanged several letters that Trump described as "beautiful." In June 2019, Trump made a brief visit into North Korean territory from the demilitarized zone with South Korea.

Despite these diplomatic efforts, limited progress was achieved in controlling North Korea’s nuclear program. Trump acknowledged in March that Pyongyang is a "nuclear power."

The potential for renewed dialogue comes as South Korea’s newly elected president, Lee Jae-myung, has stated his intention to restart talks with North Korea.
