Kim Jong Un gets mail from US President | News Asia | '
Media-effectively, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un holds a letter in his hands. Kim stated "with satisfaction" that the letter from US President Donald Trump has "excellent content," the state-owned North Korean news agency KCNA reports. Kim appreciated "the political judgment and the extraordinary courage" Trumps and "seriously examine" the interesting content of the letter. The agency did not provide information on the actual text.
"Beautiful letter" by Kim
Just under two weeks ago Trump had received according to own data another "beautiful letter" from Kim. Trump spoke of a "very personal, kind and warmhearted" letter. The president did not comment on the content. He just said, "I think something very positive will happen".
However, the negotiations on Pyongyang's nuclear and missile program are so far in a dead end. Kim agreed in principle to a denuclearization of the Korean peninsula at the historic first summit meeting with Trump in June 2018. Concrete steps were not agreed at that time. In the year there was a first exchange of letters between the two leaders. White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said it was about North Korea's complete nuclear disarmament.
Even a conversation in the fresh air at the summit in Hanoi did not bring the breakthrough
The second summit in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi in February was canceled. North Korea had demanded a lifting of international sanctions, but there was no agreement on Pyongyang's consideration.
Trump: "He kept his word"
North Korea also tested missiles again after the deliberations in Vietnam. The tests were not seen by the White House as aggravating the situation. Trump said there have been no nuclear tests and long-range missile tests. With regard to Kim, the President emphasized: "He kept his word to me, that's very important."
