U.S. President Donald Trump says he would most likely meet again with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,... hinting at a possible second summit between the leaders of two long-time adversaries, following their historic first-ever summit in June.
Speaking to Reuters on Monday, President Trump answered a question on another meeting with Kim,... but added that he did not want to comment further.
He also offered no details on the timing or venue.
And despite the widespread skepticism that Pyongyang is not taking concrete measures in dismantling its nuclear program, President Trump said he believes the North Koreans had taken specific steps to denuclearize, without elaborating.
President Trump also pointed at how Kim Jong-un handed over three American detainees even before the Singapore summit.
Trump has come under fire from his critics for making too many concessions to Pyongyang, including his decision to actually hold the Singapore summit and suspending Washington's joint military drills with South Korea.
President Trump, however, remains optimistic, insisting that a lot of good things are happening with North Korea.
But he also complained that China is not helping as much as it had in the past because of its trade dispute with the U.S.
During the interview, President Trump patted himself on the back, saying that he, someone who's only been working on the North Korean issue for a matter of months, stopped the regime's nuclear and missile testing, something his predecessors who had been working on the issue for 30 years couldn't do.
Trump also pointed to the great chemistry he shared with Kim as one reason that helped ease last year's tensions between the two sides.
Trump said he and the North Korean leader like each other,... adding he has very good personal relations with Kim, which is what he thinks is holding the situation together.
