NORTH KOREA/SOUTH KOREA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “North Korea’s Kim Jong-un has written to US President Donald Trump asking for a follow-up to their historic summit, the White House says. The US says it is already looking at scheduling a new meeting. White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said the ‘very warm’ letter showed Pyongyang’s ‘continued commitment to focus on denuclearisation’. Negotiations on the topic appeared to have stalled after the two leaders’ historic summit in Singapore in June…She gave no indication of when a second meeting between the two leaders could potentially take place. South Korean President Moon Jae-in welcomed the news, saying that ‘complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula is an issue that should fundamentally be resolved between the US and North Korea through negotiation’, Mr Moon had been crucial in brokering the Singapore summit in June and is himself scheduled to meet with Mr Kim in Pyongyang next week for a third round of face-to-face talks.”
