South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed on Friday (March 13) possible reopening of talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in a meeting in Washington.

Kim told Trump he was the only Western leader to have had dialog with North Korea's Kim and was currently the only person who could resolve issues on the Korean peninsula, while Kim had a briefing session with reporters after meeting with Trump.

“He (President Trump) was curious whether Chairman Kim Jong Un wants to have dialogue with the United States and with himself,” Kim told reporters.

South Korea’s Prime Minister’s secretariat office released two still photographs of Kim and Trump at White House after the meeting.

Kim did not say what specific suggestions he made to Trump but said he told Trump that recent comments by Pyongyang indicated Kim may be open to dialogue with the U.S., Yonhap said. Trump showed much interest in the topic, Kim added.

Trump met Kim, the North Korean leader, for three rounds of talks in 2018 and 2019 to negotiate better relations and a path for Pyongyang to end its nuclear weapons program, but the talks stalled when Trump was voted out of office.
