U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his intention to reach out to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un again, describing him as a 'smart guy' during an interview with Fox News. Trump, who met with Kim three times during his first term, indicated a willingness to re-engage diplomatically with the North Korean leader. These meetings took place in Singapore in June 2018, Hanoi in February 2019, and at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom in June 2019. Trump's comments suggest a potential continuation of his summit diplomacy with Kim, despite the lack of progress on denuclearization during his first term.
