"During talks with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the Gyeongju National Museum, Trump expressed concern that "North Korea's nuclear development is significantly threatening the security of the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia." But Trump also left the door open to dialogue with Pyongyang, claiming he still has a "good relationship" with Kim and was ready to return to meet the North Korean leader "at any time.""
"Experts, however, point out that the global geopolitical situation has changed dramatically since the two leaders met in Singapore, Hanoiand at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea during Trump's first term in office, and that Kim has since cultivated a close military and trade relationship with Russia. 'Kim has new, powerful friends' Despite Trump stating repeatedly before arriving in South Korea"
US President Donald Trump departed South Korea after a whistle-stop east Asia tour without securing a face-to-face meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, citing timing issues. Trump warned that North Korea's nuclear development significantly threatens the security of the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia while saying he still has a good relationship with Kim and remains ready to meet at any time. The global geopolitical situation has changed since earlier Trump-Kim meetings in Singapore, Hanoi and the DMZ, with Kim cultivating close military and trade ties with Russia. Kim has acquired new, powerful friends, reducing the likelihood of a meeting. South Korean analysts regarded a face-to-face encounter as unlikely.
