US President Donald Trump
on Monday received a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un asking
for a second meeting.
The White House is already looking at
scheduling one, spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.
The two leaders have been discussing North Korea's nuclear
program since their unprecedented June 12 summit.
The meeting has been
criticized for being short on concrete details about how and
whether Kim is willing to give up on a nuclear weapons program
that threatens the United States.
Trump told reporters on Friday that a personal letter from
Kim was on the way. "It was a very warm, very positive letter,"
Sanders said at a briefing.
"The primary purpose of the letter was to request and look
to schedule another meeting with the president which we are open
to and are already in the process of coordinating that," Sanders
said.
Sanders told reporters the letter exhibited "a continued
commitment to focus on denuclearisation of the peninsula.
She
said a military parade in Pyongyang on Sunday was "a sign of
good faith" because it did not feature any long-range nuclear
missiles.
