Trump says he will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un soon
- 6 years ago
South Korean President Moon Jae-in has concluded his summit with his President Donald Trump, and it seems he has successfully threaded the diplomatic needle,... getting his U.S. counterpart to agree to a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
Alongside that, Presidents Moon and Trump also put pen to paper on their revised free trade deal on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Shin Se-min reports from New York.
The on-again, off-again talks between North Korea and the United States are officially back on.
At Monday's summit between Presidents Moon Jae-in and Donald Trump,... a tease on the next encounter between the leaders of North Korea and the U.S.
"Expressing his unchanged high expectations for President Trump, Chairman Kim Jong-un expressed hope to meet with President Trump at an early date to conclude the denuclearization process."
And President Trump,... also pledging to meet with the North Korean leader very soon.
"I think within a fairly short period of time we’ll be announcing where it’ll be, the location to be determined but we’re both very much looking forward to having it. We are in no rush. We’re in no hurry. We’ve made more progress than anybody has made in… ever,… frankly with regard to North Korea."
But one thing he revealed,.... their next meeting will not be held in Singapore like the first.
Such a development on North Korea,... made possible as President Moon worked on bringing back a deal between Pyeongyang and Washington -- which had been on ice since their last summit in June.
Presidents Moon and Trump also saw eye-to-eye on their bilateral free trade deal.
The two sides inked an amended version of their six-year old FTA,... promising efforts to implement the revised trade pact at an early date.
With the signing, Seoul will double the number of American cars that meet U.S. safety rules, not Korean ones, to 50-thousand,... while Washington will maintain 25-percent tariffs on imports of South Korean-made light trucks until 2041.
"Shoring up their ties on diplomatic issues with North Korea and on the bilateral economic level.
One thing we know for sure from the summit between the leaders of South Korea and the U.S.,... is that there will be a redux of the Singapore summit,... hopefully pushing efforts to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula in the right direction.
