Trump floats idea of third North Korea summit.
US President Donald Trump said Thursday he is considering a potential third nuclear summit with North Korea's leader.
Both Trump and Moon are heavily invested in bringing North Korea out of the cold. But the unsuccessful summit in Vietnam was a setback for the two allies that has yet to be resolved. Despite the sanctions, Trump said Thursday that he supports unspecified South Korean moves to bring humanitarian relief.Although the broader sanctions should"remain in place," he said he opposes any further tightening and noted that he had stopped planned new measures.- Vietnam fallout -
In Washington, that outcome brought Trump praise from Republican legislators who'd worried he would give too much away in pursuit of big headlines. "Sometimes, you have to walk," Trump said, slipping into his real estate dealer's lingo, after the Hanoi meeting.In his talks with Trump, he insisted that the summits have produced important results, especially"the dramatic, significant reduction of military tension on the Korean peninsula."
Plans to unveil details of such projects on March 1, right after the Hanoi summit, had to be shelved and he is under pressure from opponents on the right. One lawmaker branded him the North Korean's"top spokesman."
