Trump, recalling their unlikely 2018\u20132019 rapport, expressed hope that old diplomatic sparks could reignite \u2014 even amid lingering tensions and recent missile tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump reminisced about his past meetings with Kim, describing a personal bond that surprised the world. \u201cI like him. He likes me\u2026 And then we fell in love. OK? No, really! He wrote me beautiful letters. And they\u2019re great letters,\u201d Trump said, recalling the historic moment when he stepped into North Korean territory alongside Kim in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ahead of his stops in Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, \u201cI just had a good relationship with him. I would love to see him, if he wants to, if he even gets this message. If he\u2019d like to meet, I\u2019d love to meet him.\u201d He added with a grin, \u201cIf you want to put out the word, I\u2019m open to it. If he wants to meet, I\u2019ll be in South Korea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, Pyongyang has remained quiet. U.S. and South Korean officials confirmed no formal meeting has been scheduled, and Kim Jong Un\u2019s government hasn\u2019t responded to Trump\u2019s outreach. However, Kim recently hinted at a potential dialogue \u2014 on his terms. State media reported Kim stating he would consider a U.S. meeting if Washington abandons its \u201cabsurd obsession with denuclearizing us\u201d and seeks genuine peaceful coexistence. Meanwhile, Kim showed no interest in inter-Korean talks, leaving South Korea in a delicate position<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Donald Trump embarks on his high-profile Asia tour, the former U.S. president has made no secret of his desire to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un once again.
