President Donald Trump is still open to sitting down with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to the White House — but Pyongyang isn’t exactly rolling out the red carpet.
A White House official told Fox News Digital that Trump “remains open” to engaging with Kim in pursuit of a “fully de-nuclearized North Korea.”
The official pointed to the three historic summits held during Trump’s first term, calling them a major step toward peace and stability in the region.
But Kim Yo Jong, the dictator’s powerful sister, delivered a firm warning. She said any push for denuclearization would be seen as “a mockery,” not a serious proposal.
She claimed North Korea’s nuclear arsenal has only grown since those talks, and said there would be no future summit if disarmament is on the table.
“If the U.S. fails to accept the changed reality, the DPRK–U.S. meeting will remain just a ‘hope’ on the U.S. side,” she said.
Trump famously met Kim in Singapore, Hanoi, and at the DMZ, where he became the first sitting U.S. president to enter North Korean territory.
The 2018 summit produced a pledge to work toward denuclearization, but talks later collapsed. Kim reportedly wanted full sanctions relief in exchange for only partial disarmament — a deal Trump refused.
Trump marked the Korean War anniversary on Monday, saying he was “proud” of his outreach to Kim and praised the U.S.–South Korea alliance as “ironclad” in the face of ongoing threats from communism in Asia.
