Summary
Rafael Mariano Grossi, head of the U.N. nuclear watchdog, endorsed a potential meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un, saying it is "very important" that the two leaders meet.
In an interview with The Washington Post, Grossi backed direct dialogue as the best way to address North Korea's nuclear challenge, lending arms-control credibility to Trump's push for renewed engagement.
The intervention puts one of the world's most prominent nuclear officials publicly behind leader-level diplomacy, reinforcing the case for talks even before any summit has been scheduled.
