Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he looks forward to another potential meeting with the North Korean leader, just minutes before he was set to host South Korea's new President Lee Jae Myung at the White House.
Trump and Kim met three times during his first term, including a 2019 sit-down that took place in the heavily militarized border area separating the Koreas known as the DMZ. During the visit, Trump briefly entered North Korea, marking the first time a US president set foot on North Korean soil.
Trump's stated desire to meet with Kim again came hours after he issued a social media post questioning South Korea's internal stability ahead of his White House meeting with Lee.
