Trump says may talk with Kim Jong-un, without meeting
Trump-Kim in Singapore summit
President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he could soon talk with North Korea's strongman leader Kim Jong-un even if they don't meet, reported news agency AFP.
The US president is headed to South Korea following this week's G20 summit in Japan.
"I'll be meeting with a lot of other people. Not him," AFP reportedTrump as saying to reporters at the White House. "I may be speaking to him in a different form."
Nuclear talks between Washington and Pyongyang are deadlocked after a second summit between Kim and Trump broke up in Hanoi in February with the two unable to reach a deal on sanctions relief and what the North might give up in return.
Before the collapse of the Hanoi summit, Trump had said that he and Kim had an excellent relationship, and had even "fallen in love."
The two sides have had minimal contact and Trump is due to fly to Seoul at the weekend for a summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
