President Trump has agreed to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by May in an effort to see North Korea abandon its nuclear ambitions, South Korea’s national security adviser said Thursday night.
Chung Eui-yong made the announcement during a brief and hastily arranged statement outside the White House after meeting with Trump and administration officials, saying Trump accepted the meeting in order “to achieve permanent denuclearization.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said that Trump “will accept the invitation to meet with Kim Jong Un at a place and time to be determined.” A senior official said the administration was still working on details such as an appropriate place to meet.
“We look forward to the denuclearization of North Korea,” Sanders said in a statement shortly after the South Korean announcement.
