Two South Korean polls showed 62.7 percent and 66.4 percent of citizens approved of President Donald Trump's latest meeting with North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un.
President Donald Trump's latest meeting with North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un was supported by the majority of South Koreans, two recent polls showed.
Seoul-based polling agency Realmeter released the results of a survey Wednesday showing 62.7 percent of South Koreans felt positive about the last-minute talks between the three leaders, who gathered together for the first time ever at the truce village of Panmunjom. At the same time, 29 percent of those surveyed felt negative and 8.3 percent offered no opinion.
North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump shake hands in front of South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the demilitarized zone separating the two Koreas, June 30. The first-ever gathering of the three leaders at once was aimed toward revitalizing denuclearization-for-peace talks between the U.S. and North Korea.
Officially ending this conflict has been a goal of both Koreas and, though Moon said Tuesday that Trump and Kim"declared a de facto end to hostilities and the full-fledged beginning of a new era of peace" through their latest meeting, no such document was signed. The U.S. has maintained that the"complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization" of the Korean Peninsula without conditions was necessary before any deals for peace or sanctions relief.
