Comments from North Korea’s leader come as South Korea’s Lee Jae Myung says he could accept a deal that sees the North retain its nuclear weapons
The North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, has suggested he would be open to talks with the US, while South Korea’s president has hinted he would accept a deal between Kim and Donald Trump that allowed the North to retain its existing nuclear weapons.
In a speech to the Supreme People’s Assembly on Sunday, Kim said he still had “fond memories” of Trump, whom he met three times during Trump’s first term as US president.
