On Monday (September 23), the US President Donald Trump and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae – In met and discussed on the third summit with North Korea besides the sharing cost of American soldiers deployed in South Korea.

The denuclearization talks between the US and North Korea has not been held since the meeting of two countries’ leaders in Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on June 30. North Korea said it was ready to have talks with the US in late September, however, there were no detail confirmation of the time.

Trump revealed that he had a meeting with Moon at the UN General Assembly and commented about North Korea "There's been no nuclear testing at all. And the relationships have been very good ... We want to see if we can do something. If we can, that'll be great. And if we can't, that's fine, we'll see what happens”.

Furthermore, Moon shared his wish that the US – North Korea working – level negotiations will be set soon, nevertheless, Trump wants to see the result of the third summit before accepting to have it.

Trump said “Right now, people would like to see that happen. I want to know what’s going to be coming out of it. We can know a lot before the summit takes place”.

Last week, North Korean nuclear negotiator chief agreed with the Trump’s idea for a “new method” on North Korea’s nuclear program negotiation.

Trump had even kept calm after North Korea’s series of launches “we didn’t have an agreement on short-range missiles. And a lot of people and a lot of countries test short-range missiles. There’s nothing spectacular about that”.
