Trump, Moon to discuss 'further meetings' with North Korea's Kim
De-escalating the nuclear threat from North Korea
US President Donald Trump said Thursday he would discuss the possibility of further meetings with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
WelcomingSouth Korea's president Moon Jae to the White House, Trump said they would be "discussing... potential further meetings," as they seek a path forward following a failed nuclear summit between the US and North Korean leader.
We will be discussing that and potential meetings, further meetings with North Korea and Kim Jong Un," Trump said.
"I enjoy the summits, I enjoy being with the chairman," he said.
Kim is "a person I've gotten to know very well and respect and hopefully and I really believe over a period of time a lot of tremendous things will happen. I think North Korea has a tremendous potential," Trump said.
The announcement comes months after Trump and Kim held an unsuccessful summit in Vietnam on February 28.

The summit in Vietnam's capital was cut short after Trump and Kim failed to reach a deal on the extent of economic sanctions relief for North Korea in exchange for its steps to give up its nuclear programme.
The first summit between Trump and Kim, held in Singapore in June 2018, was almost called off after the North Koreans rejected Bolton's repeated demands for it to follow a denuclearisation model.
Moon was in Washington for talks that he hoped would help put denuclearisation.
Trump extended his wishes to Kim in remarks with Moon by his side, while Moon told Trump that there was a dramatic turnaround in the situation on the Korean Peninsula after Trump's first meeting with Kim.
Moon said he believed Trump's diplomacy has led to a reduction in military tension and he believes the issues can be resolved through dialogue.
