He will fly to South Korea on Wednesday to meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. Trump asked the media for help in contacting the dictator, adding that the North Koreans &ldquo;have a lot of nuclear weapons, but not a lot of telephone service.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The meeting request was not the only noteworthy comment he made in reference to North Korea. The <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >president recognized<\/a> the communist state as a nuclear power, signifying a shift after the United States had long aimed to weaken its arsenal. North Korea has been an adversary of the United States for decades, resulting in many nuclear threats, and eventually leading to Pyongyang deploying troops to assist Russia in the war with Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I think they are sort of a nuclear power,&rdquo; Trump said. &ldquo;I mean, I know how many weapons they have. I know everything about them and I have a very good relationship with Kim Jung Un. When you say they have to be recognized as a nuclear power, well, they&rsquo;ve got a lot of nuclear weapons, I&rsquo;ll say that.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Trump held three summits with the dictator during his first presidential term, but does not have any scheduled for his second term as of Saturday morning. In 2018, the two met at the first-ever U.S.-North Korea summit in Singapore, and another summit took place in 2019. The third visit happened later in 2019, when they met at the DMZ.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3861981\/lawmakers-food-stamps-shutdown-funding-cliff\/\">LAWMAKERS SQUIRM AS FOOD STAMPS BECOME NEXT SHUTDOWN FUNDING CLIFF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Trump administration has not sent Kim an invitation, according to the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/asia\/trump-pitches-meeting-with-kim-jong-un-during-asia-tour-ba0c55ec\"><em>Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> reached out to the White House for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Trump open to meeting Kim Jong Un, urges media to spread word<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3691,"featured_media":2502953,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AP25209858364086_1ebd38.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[3817,33528,4188,4470,3634],"class_list":["post-2502952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-diplomacy","tag-kim-jong-un","tag-media","tag-meeting","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AP25209858364086_1ebd38.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2502952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3691"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2502952"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2502952\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2502956,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2502952\/revisions\/2502956"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2502953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2502952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2502952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2502952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
