Willing to talk to Kim, says Trump<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Context<\/strong><\/p>\n

U.S President Donald Trump said talks between North Korea and South Korea scheduled for next week was an outcome of his \u201cfirm stance\u201d and he could talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the phone. \u201cAbsolutely I would do that. No problem with that at all,\u201d he said, when asked whether he was \u201cwilling to engage in phone talks\u201d with Mr. Kim. Mr. Trump was interacting with reporters at the Camp David Presidential retreat on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Talks b\/w North and South<\/strong><\/p>\n

The North and the South are scheduled to talk next week, which is likely to pave the way for the North\u2019s participation in the Winter Olympics in the South next month<\/p>\n

The first formal diplomatic talks between the two Koreas in two years is taking place against the backdrop of furious public exchange of insults between Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim over Pyongyang\u2019s nuclear capability that now threatens mainland America<\/p>\n

Changing position<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Trump\u2019s position on talking to the North has changed many times<\/p>\n

He had once said his negotiating skills could lead to a resolution of the conflict with North Korea, but in recent times, he dismissed Secretary of State Rex Tillerson\u2019s diplomatic efforts as a \u201cwaste of time.<\/p>\n
