Trump confirms seeking to resolve conflict with North Korea and praises his relationship with Kim Jong Un

US President Donald Trump has confirmed his intention to work on "resolving the conflict with North Korea," noting the good relationship he has with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. This came during an event at the White House last Friday, where he discussed his efforts in resolving international conflicts.

In response to a question about whether he had sent a message to Kim, as previously reported by the media, Trump did not directly answer, but told reporters: "I have a good relationship with Kim Jong Un, and I agree with him completely. So we'll see what happens." He added: "Someone says there is a potential conflict, and I believe we will work to resolve it. If there is a conflict, it won't involve us."

It is worth mentioning that the South Korean news site "NK News," specializing in North Korean affairs, previously mentioned that Pyongyang's delegation at the United Nations had repeatedly refused to accept a message directed from Trump to Kim.

During his first term, Trump held three summits with the North Korean leader, exchanging messages described by Trump as "beautiful," before diplomatic efforts stumbled due to Washington's insistence on North Korea's nuclear disarmament.

In his second term, Trump officially acknowledged North Korea as a "nuclear power," and the White House announced on June 11 its openness to resume communication with Pyongyang, without confirming the sending of any new messages.

On the other hand, North Korea has shown no willingness to return to the negotiating table since the failed talks in 2019. Instead, it has strengthened its nuclear and missile programs, deepened its alliance with Russia by providing direct military support in the Ukraine war, according to international reports.
