North Korea's Kim showcases missile capable of reaching US as Trump signals possible meeting
Kim also showcased new missiles and drones as North Korea signaled continued weapons development and Trump said he may meet him in Asia.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House he "may" meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during his upcoming Asia trip, calling the prospect "exciting."
- Trump has frequently touted his rapport with Kim, stating Saturday he "gets along great" with the leader; the two held three in-person summits between 2018 and 2019.
- State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott said the administration does not view engagement with North Korea as a "concession," while Trump recently met with Dennis Rodman, who maintains an unusual personal friendship with the North Korean leader.
- The overtures occur amid rising regional tensions, as North Korea fired multiple ballistic missiles off its east coast on Monday, marking Pyongyang's fourth test in about a month.
- U.S.-South Korea relations remain strained over trade disputes, including a threatened $54 billion liquefied natural gas project in Alaska, as Trump previously scaled back military exercises due to frustration regarding operations against Iran.
