It was a long letter, much of it complaining about the ''ridiculous and expensive'' exercises, Trump added about the letter.

''It was also a small apology for testing the short range missiles, and that this testing would stop when the exercises end. I look forward to seeing Kim Jong Un in the not too distant future! A nuclear free North Korea will lead to one of the most successful countries in the world!'' Trump said.

Trumpsaid on Friday he has received a "very beautiful letter" on Thursday fromNorth Korean leader Kim Jong-un and added that he could haveanother meeting with him.

Trumpand Kim have met three times since last year to discuss ways to resolve a crisis over North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, but progress has been scant on Washington's aim of getting the North Korea leader to give up his weapons.

A summit betweenTrumpand Kim in Hanoi in February collapsed over a failure to narrow differences over US demands for North Korea to give up all of its nuclear weapons and Pyongyang's demands for relief from punishing sanctions.
