North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is willing meet with US President Donald Trump a third time if Washington comes to the table with the \u201cright attitude\u201d, state media reported Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kim also said he would wait until the end of the year \u201cfor the US to make a courageous decision\u201d on another meeting, after his most recent summit with Trump in Vietnam broke down and both sides left without agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Washington has blamed the February deadlock on the North\u2019s demands for sanctions relief in return for limited nuclear disarmament, but Pyongyang said it had wanted only some of the measures eased.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a speech to Pyongyang\u2019s rubber-stamp parliament Friday, Kim said the Hanoi meeting had made him question whether Washington is \u201cgenuinely interested\u201d in improving its relations with Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pyongyang has been careful not to criticise Trump personally while attacking sanctions on North Korea as an attempt to \u201cdestroy modern civilisation and turn the society back in a medieval dark age\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump and Kim held their first landmark summit in Singapore last June, where the pair signed a vaguely-worded agreement on the \u201cdenuclearisation of the Korean peninsula\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the failure to reach agreement at their second summit in Hanoi has raised questions over the future of the accord.Trump said Thursday he was mulling a third summit with Kim ahead of a meeting with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in at the Oval Office a move supported by Seoul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moon brokered the US-North Korea talks and has been pushing for the resumption of inter-Korean economic projects, but doing so would fall foul of international sanctions imposed on Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur government will do what we can in order to maintain the current momentum for dialogue,\u201d Moon\u2019s office said in a Saturday statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
