US President Donald Trump says he hopes to meet again early next year with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un but that he was in “no rush” to negotiate.
In a wide-ranging news conference after congressional elections, Trump says he was willing to accede to North Korea’s key demand of easing sanctions “but they have to be responsive to us.”
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been set to meet Thursday in New York with a top North Korean official to arrange a new summit between Kim and Trump, who held a landmark meeting in June in Singapore.
But Pompeo abruptly postponed the talks in New York. Trump, asked about the delay, attributed it to a scheduling issue.
“We will make it another day. But we are very happy how it is going with North Korea,” Trump says.
“But I will say this, I will say this very simply — We are in no rush, the sanctions are on,” he says.
