Summary
Later this year, Trump said he expects to meet Kim Jong-un again, signaling a renewed push after posting a photo from their 2019 encounter over the weekend.
Three prior Trump-Kim meetings in Singapore, Hanoi and the DMZ failed to produce denuclearization, and North Korea has since expanded its nuclear and missile capabilities.
57 nuclear weapons was Trump’s latest estimate of Kim’s arsenal, underscoring the scale of the challenge as he seeks another round of diplomacy.
U.S.-South Korea military drills have become part of that outreach: Trump called them “insulting” to Kim and said the exercises would be scaled back.
