Trump says ‘timing’ didn’t work out To meet N. Korea’s leader

Donald Trump has stated that he was not able to arrange a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during the US president's visit to the South, ending fierce speculation over a possible summit.

Trump said on Wednesday he would aim to “straighten out” tensions between North Korea and South Korea as he met Seoul’s President Lee Jae Myung for a summit.

“I know Kim Jong Un very well… we really weren’t able to work out, timing,” Trump added.

Trump met Kim three times during his previous term as president but failed to reach accord on ending Pyongyang’s nuclear program because of differences on lifting sanctions and over how to scrap the North’s nuclear facilities.
