White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters in Monday’s Press Briefing that they have received a letter from Pyongyang – an indication of improving diplomatic relationship between Washington and DPRK.
Describing the letter as “warm” and “positive,” Sanders said the primary purpose of the letter was to look to schedule a second meeting between the two leaders.
According to US President Donald Trump’s “steely” Press Secretary, the White House was “open to” the meeting and is already “in the process of coordinating that”.
The U.S. National Security Adviser John Bolton said earlier in the day that the possibility of another meeting between the leaders of Washington and Pyongyang “obviously exists.”
At the conclusion of the historic Trump-Kim Summit in June in Singapore, the two sides issued a joint statement, in which they agreed to improve bilateral relations and work together to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the peninsula.
However, the current US-DPRK talks have been stuck in with an impasse due to differences in the scale of denuclearization the US is looking for, U.S. sanctions, and whether or not to issue a war-ending declaration on the side of Pyongyang.
Kim told South Korea’s envoy on Wednesday that he firmly supports and will be devoted to completely removing the danger of armed conflicts and the horrors of war from the Korean Peninsula and turning it into a cradle of peace without nuclear weapons and free from any nuclear threat.
