The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

President Donald Trump said he plans to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, answering “Yeah, I will” when reporters asked about a potential in-person meeting. Trump said he gets along well with Kim and cited North Korea’s arsenal as “57 very powerful nuclear weapons,” a figure that has not been publicly confirmed. The comments followed reporting that Trump was pressing aides to arrange talks, possibly around the November APEC summit in Shenzhen, China. Kim Yo Jong, Kim’s sister and senior adviser, said she was unaware of U.S.-North Korea discussions.
