President-elect Donald Trump’s team is discussing the possibility of direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. This was reported by Reuters, citing two sources.
“President-elect Donald Trump’s team is discussing the possibility of direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, hoping that a new diplomatic push could reduce the risks of armed conflict.” – says the message cited by RIA Novosti.
It is unclear what results the new diplomatic efforts will lead to. According to sources, Trump’s initial goal is to restore basic ties between the United States and North Korea, and no other political objectives have been established at this time. Moreover, this issue may take a backseat compared to foreign policy problems in the Middle East and Ukraine.
