Reversal: Trump misses Kim meeting on Asia trip
Donald Trump ended his Asia trip without a face-to-face with Kim Jong Un. He said the meeting fell through because of “timing.”
In talks with South Korean President Lee Jae-myung at the Gyeongju National Museum, Trump said North Korea’s nuclear development “is significantly threatening the security of the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia.” He said he still has a “good relationship” with Kim and is ready to return “at any time.”
As the visit wrapped, North Korea announced it had fired a volley of sea-to-surface strategic cruise missiles into the Yellow Sea and said the weapons can carry nuclear warheads. The launch followed a ballistic missile test a week earlier.
