Trump says he will ‘work very hard with Kim Jong Un’ to achieve Korean peace

US president and ROK counterpart Lee Jae-myung pledge to pursue diplomacy despite low prospects for Trump-Kim meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae-myung pledged to continue efforts to forge a lasting “peace” with North Korea at a summit on Wednesday, despite low prospects for a Trump meeting with Kim Jong Un during his visit.

At a meeting on the sidelines of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) events in South Korea, Lee praised Trump’s “wonderful skills as a peacemaker” and offered Seoul’s support for his diplomatic outreach to Pyongyang.

“You have succeeded in bringing peace to many parts of the world, and I hope that your peacemaking skills can be applied to the Korean Peninsula,”
