Former US President Trump has indicated a potential meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in November, possibly during an Asia trip. This claim, while unconfirmed and vague, suggests a possible resumption of high-level US-DPRK diplomatic engagement, dormant since 2019. Confidence in a confirmed meeting remains medium-low due to the preliminary nature of the statements.
