Trump reveals he expects to meet North Korea’s Kim Jong Un later this year

US President Donald Trump says he expects to meet Kim Jong Un later this year as he seeks to revive a diplomatic quest from his first term to convince North Korea’s Supreme Leader to abandon his country’s nuclear weapons program. President Trump has made a notable shift lately towards the Korean Peninsula as South Korea confirms its annual joint military drills with the US will be cut short following a request from Washington. North Korea said it still sees the scaled-back military drills as a provocation and denied any contact between President Trump and Kim Jong Un.
