Trump Says ‘Timing’ Didn’t Work Out to Meet Kim Jong Un

Donald Trump on Wednesday said he was not able to arrange a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during the US president’s visit to the South, ending fierce speculation over a possible summit.

Trump also said he would aim to “straighten out” tensions between North Korea and South Korea as he met Seoul’s President Lee Jae Myung for a summit. “I know Kim Jong Un very well… we really weren’t able to work out, timing,” Trump added. (AFP)
