Donald Trump hopes for ‘greatest deal’ with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un as he praises helpful China
US president made the surprise decision on Thursday to meet with Kim Jong-un after the North Korean leader’s invitation was relayed by a South Korean delegation who visited the White House.
US President Donald Trump said his planned meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un could fizzle without an agreement or it could result in “the greatest deal for the world” to ease nuclear tensions between the two countries.
“I may leave fast” if progress does not seem possible, Trump said at a campaign rally Saturday for Republican congressional candidate Rick Saccone in western Pennsylvania.
Trump said he believes North Korea wants to make peace and that, “I think it’s time”.
A time and place to meet has not yet been set, although the meeting is supposed to happen by the end of May.
“Who knows what’s going to happen?” said Trump, who added that if the meeting takes place, “I may leave fast or we may sit down and make the greatest deal for the world.”
