US President Donald Trump confirmed Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has responded to his earlier proposal for dialogue. The US leader shared the information amid ongoing tensions between the two countries.
Speaking to reporters, Trump did not disclose details of Kim's response but described it as a positive development. Observers say the move could open new opportunities for high-level diplomatic contacts between Washington and Pyongyang.
Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire to meet Kim directly to discuss North Korea's nuclear and missile programs. However, recent rounds of talks have stalled over disagreements on preconditions.
Analysts suggest Kim's response may signal both sides are willing to resume dialogue, though significant challenges remain in the denuclearization process on the Korean Peninsula.
