Trump Team Weighs Direct Talks With Kim Jong Un to Ease Nuclear Tensions
Nov 26, 2024, 07:38 PM
President-elect Donald Trump's team is discussing pursuing direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as soon as possible, aiming to lower the risks of armed conflict through fresh diplomatic engagement, according to sources familiar with the matter cited by Reuters. The Trump team is considering resuming direct negotiations to restore basic US-North Korean ties, though specific policy goals and a precise timetable have not yet been established. Advisors believe that Trump's personal diplomacy, building on his existing relationship with Kim, is most likely to break the ice. The move comes amid a changing geopolitical landscape, with a strengthened Russia-North Korea alliance adding urgency to the diplomatic push. Despite previous meetings not yielding North Korean disarmament, Trump's team hopes that a direct approach could thaw years of silence and rising nuclear tensions.
