WASHINGTON—The White House confirmed on Sept. 10 that President Donald Trump has received a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un requesting another meeting, following their historic June meeting in Singapore.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called the letter very “warm” and “positive,” and said the White House is actively working to set up a meeting.
Sanders said that the parade, combined with the repatriation of remains of soldiers killed during the Korean War, the return of three American hostages, and no recent nuclear tests, all show that North Korea is making progress on promises Kim made to Trump at their last meeting.
“It’s certainly something that we want to take place,” Sanders said about their next meeting. “At the end of the day, ultimately, it’s always going to be best when you can have the two leaders sit down, particularly from the North Korean side; as we know most of the decisions are going to have to be run through Kim Jong Un.”
