Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Seeks New Kim Jong Un Meeting as North Korea Sets Tough Conditions
Caption: Trump Seeks New Kim Jong Un Meeting as North Korea Sets Tough Conditions. President Donald Trump says he wants to meet Kim Jong Un later this year, but Pyongyang remains cautious. North Korea praised their personal relationship while warning that national security interests would come before personal diplomacy. Trump recently reduced major military exercises with South Korea, calling them hostile toward North Korea. He hopes renewed talks could deliver a diplomatic breakthrough, potentially during an Asia-Pacific summit later this year. However, Pyongyang appears to want major changes in Washington's policy before agreeing to another meeting. Those demands could include accepting North Korea's nuclear status and ending US efforts toward denuclearisation. North Korea also fired around ten ballistic missiles into waters off its eastern coast Thursday. Analysts say Pyongyang's response does not completely reject talks, but seeks greater concessions from Washington. With stronger ties to China and Russia, Kim now has fewer reasons to quickly return to negotiations. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
