Trump Claims Kim Jong Un Contacts Are Making Situation Safer

US President Donald Trump has hinted at ongoing contacts with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, describing the relationship as making the situation 'much safer.' The remarks came in the context of the US scaling back military drills with South Korea. Trump met Kim three times during his first presidential term but has not yet had a face-to-face meeting with him since returning to the White House. The two leaders' relationship has historically been a centerpiece of Trump's approach to North Korea diplomacy.
