President Donald Trump received a letter from North Korea's Kim Jong Un on Monday expressing the latter's desire for a second meeting with the American president and as confirmed by the White House, arrangements for the said event is already being prepared.
During an afternoon press briefing at the state's capital on Monday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters that the Oval Office has indeed received a letter from the NoKor leader, according to Reuters.
A video coverage provided over by the news outlet said that Trump's office still has to withhold the full disclosure of the memo unless as notified over at Kim's end.
However, Sanders stipulated that its primary message was to request Trump to schedule yet another meeting, a gesture which the press secretary said that Washington is more than open to indulge with. In fact, as further divulged by Sanders, the White House is already coordinating to make the necessary preparations for the yet-to-be-specified meet-up between the two leaders.
Sanders continued to tell those present during the briefing that Kim's letter is a clear manifestation of North Korea upholding its commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
June of this year, President Trump and Supreme Leader Kim met for the first time in what is considered to be a historic summit held in Singapore. The two leaders signed documents detailing what is believed to be an agreement that would prompt the Asian nation to forego its nuke programs.
The press secretary, meanwhile, mentioned the recently-held military parade in Pyongyang. North Korea, on Sunday, celebrated the 70th Founding Anniversary of the state under the Kim regime, a previous report from this site said.
As revealed in the report, this year's parade in Pyongyang lacked the presence of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) - one of the staples in every military and civic procession in the Hermit Kingdom until recently.
According to Sanders, Kim's decision to remove the nuke missiles from the display is the country's sign of good faith.
In response, Trump went to his Twitter to post a thank you note to his Korean counterpart for the latter's action which is taken as a positive statement, an earlier report from Reuters indicated.
It is yet unclear if the second Trump-Kim meeting will coincide with the United Nations General Assembly which will be held in New York later in September. Although, security adviser to the president, John Bolton, doubts that the NoKor head of state would grace the event.
