US President-elect Donald Trump’s entourage is discussing the possibility of direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, which is believed to reduce the risk of armed conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

Details: Trump’s team sees direct contact with Kim Jong Un as the most likely way to establish contact between Washington and Pyongyang, according to the publication.
Currently, the entourage of the US president-elect is not developing far-reaching plans for interaction with the leader of North Korea after the resumption of contact, writes Reuters. In addition, Trump has not yet made a final decision, the agency adds.
Reuters also points out that the willingness of the North Korean side to resume contact with Trump is unknown: the local media did not even report on his victory in the US elections.
In addition, the issue of relations with North Korea may recede – at least for the time being – into the background for the Trump administration against the background of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the material notes.
During the first presidential term, Donald Trump held three meetings with Kim Jong-un: in Singapore, Hanoi and on the Korean border – then for the first time a sitting US president set foot on the territory of North Korea.
Their diplomacy did not yield concrete results, although Trump praised the talks and said that the nuclear threat from North Korea “no longer exists.”
Currently, Pyongyang, as is known, actively supplies Russia with weapons and provides military personnel to participate in hostilities against Ukraine.
