Trump wants to reconnect with Kim Jong Un this year

Mr Trump told South Korean president Lee Jae Myung he would like to meet with the North Korean dictator after the South Korean leader noted that North Korea had “developed further its nuclear and missile capabilities” during the four years Mr Trump was out of office.

After Mr Lee said he hoped Mr Trump would “usher in a new era of peace on the Korean peninsula”, the US president replied: “I will do that, and we'll have talks. He’d like to meet with me.”

“He didn’t want to meet with Biden because he had no respect for Biden, but we look forward to meeting with him, and we’ll make relations better,” he said.
