President Donald Trump has expressed his desire for a second meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, echoing the successful summit of 2019. The former U.S. president, who previously met with Kim during a historic summit in June 2019, suggested that the talks could potentially take place again in a similar manner. However, there has been no official response from Kim’s side, leaving the possibility of a follow-up meeting uncertain.
During his recent public comments, Trump emphasized the importance of maintaining open channels of communication with North Korea, stating that he would welcome any outreach from Kim. He has previously pointed to the 2019 summit as a model for future negotiations, where both sides made progress on denuclearization discussions. The Trump administration’s approach to North Korea has often been characterized by a mix of diplomatic engagement and strategic pressure, and there are indications that the former president might continue this approach if given the opportunity.
While there is no official confirmation of any new meetings, Trump’s public statements suggest a continued interest in engaging with North Korea. However, the political landscape in both the United States and North Korea has evolved since 2019, raising questions about the feasibility of a new summit. The lack of a response from Kim’s administration indicates that any potential dialogue would require significant diplomatic efforts and mutual willingness to engage in further talks.
