Speaking at the end of the G20 summit, Trump spoke about previously offering to meet with Kim at the Demilitarized Zone and said he’d feel ‘very comfortable’ crossing into North Korea afterwards. 

He said he’d ‘have no problem’ becoming the first U.S. president to cross the border while he’s there.   

Trump has said he’ll visit the heavily-fortified demilitarized zone that separates North and South Korea, and he’s invited Kim to join him ‘just to shake his hand and say Hello!’  

Previously, he tweeted out an invitation for Kim-Jong-un to join them at the Korean Demilitarized Zone. 

Trump described the offer of meeting Kim as a ‘feeler’ and said he came up with the plan ‘this morning’ (Saturday).

‘I just put out a feeler, because I don’t know where he is right now, he may not be in North Korea,’ Trump said.  

He added: ‘We may be meeting with Chairman Kim. We get along. There’e been no nuclear tests, no long-range nuclear tests and they returned our hostages.’

North Korea said Saturday Trump’s offer to meet Kim is a ‘very interesting suggestion,’ brightening prospects for a third face-to-face meeting between the two leaders.

The North’s First Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui said that the meeting, if realized, would serve as ‘another meaningful occasion in further deepening the personal relations between the two leaders and advancing the bilateral relations.’

Choe still said that North Korea hasn’t received an official proposal for the DMZ meeting from the United States. 

Her comments suggested that North Korea is willing to accept Trump’s idea if it gets a formal U.S. offer for the meeting, according to some observers in Seoul.

Choe’s statement was carried via the North’s official Korean Central News Agency. 

Trump and Kim last met in Vietnam in February, but that summit collapsed with no progress. 

‘After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon),’ Trump wrote on Saturday from the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan.

‘While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!’ 

Trump’s side trip to Seoul had been previously scheduled to follow the conclusion of the G-20, but there had been no public mention of plans to meet with Kim. 

It was not immediately clear if there had been additional diplomatic preparations for such a meeting, or whether it was a one-off.

Trump has defended North Korea in recent comments for the launch of a short-range ballistic missile.   

The floated encounter follows an exchange of letters with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un that boosted hopes for talks aimed at ending North Korea’s nuclear program.

Trump called Kim’s letter, which included birthday wishes for himself, ‘beautiful.’ 

Trump responded with a letter of his own, which Kim termed ‘interesting’ in a statement that stressed the bond between the two leaders. 

North Korea state-run news media KCNA reported that Kim would ‘seriously contemplate the interesting content’ of the letter.
