The U.S has deployed it's Navy warships to the Korean peninsula while
Trump also last week said he'll be sending another warship armed with
Tomahawk missiles following North Korea's failure last week in a nuclear
missile test, but Trump aware that a war could break out any moment
between both countries says he's still open to a diplomatic solution.
"Under the right circumstances," Trump said Monday, in a Bloomberg interview.
"If it would be appropriate for me to meet with him, I would absolutely, I would be honored to do it,"
"If it's under the, again, under the right circumstances. But I would do that."
The White House, responding to Trump's statements said even though Trump
said he'll like to meet Kim under the 'right circumstances', those
circumstances/conditions do not exist at the moment and Kim must end all
his nuclear ambitions if he wants diplomacy with the U.S.
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said "those circumstances do not
exist now." 'There would have to be significant change for a meeting
between President Trump and Kim to be a possibility.
When a reporter questioned Spicer on why Trump would consider it an
honor to meet with the North Korean leader, the press secretary said
'Kim is still a head of state."
'Trump is doing everything diplomatically, economically and militarily to stave off the nuclear threat that North Korea poses to the United States.''
In an interview with CBS on Sunday, Trump said he had "no idea" whether Mr Kim was sane.
President Trump, asked what he made of the North Korean leader, told
CBS: "People are saying: 'Is he sane?' I have no idea... but he was a
young man of 26 or 27... when his father died. He's dealing with
obviously very tough people, in particular the generals and others.
"And at a very young age, he was able to assume power. A lot of people,
I'm sure, tried to take that power away, whether it was his uncle or
anybody else. And he was able to do it. So obviously, he's a pretty
smart cookie."
