Trump happy if North Korea maintains pause on weapons testing



WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump said he would be ‘happy as long as North Korea maintains its pause on testing of its weapon. He also said he was in no rush to strike a nuclear deal with its leader, Kim Jong Un, during their second summit this week, reports have said.

Trump and Un are meeting in Vietnam’s Hanoi on Wednesday and Thursday. The Hanio summit is being held eight months after their Singapore summit.

The two leaders have already pledged to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Kim has already made his way across China by train for the summit. Meanwhile, media reports have said that North Korean state media has warned Trump to refrain from listening to U.S. critics who were trying to “disrupt the efforts to improve ties”. (Agencies)
