According to the US “Wall Street Journal” report on the 18th, US President Trump is urging his aides to push for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as early as this fall. The report quoted US officials as saying that Trump had privately discussed holding face-to-face talks with Kim Jong-un during his next trip to Asia; the time may be November. The report also said that preparations have not yet officially started. Trump said in a social media post on the 16th that considering that he has a “very good relationship” with Kim Jong-un, he is dissatisfied that “the US agreed to participate in joint military exercises with South Korea a long time ago,” and said that he has asked the US Department of Defense to drastically reduce the scale of joint military exercises between the US and South Korea. Trump also told the media at the White House on the 17th that Kim Jong-un had responded to his request for “dialogue,” but he did not disclose the details of his response.
