U.S. President Donald Trump says North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has responded to his recent overtures. Trump makes the comment after he had been asked why Kim had not yet replied to his outreach.
Trump links the change to steps he took earlier, including ordering the United States to scale back military exercises with South Korea. According to reports, he described North Korea in more conciliatory terms after that decision, characterizing it as “unthreatening and respectful.”
Across the outlets provided, the core point is the same: Trump publicly asserts that Kim has now responded. The coverage also consistently places the announcement in the context of the U.S. decision to reduce exercises and Trump’s shift in tone toward North Korea, while details of what the response contains are not specified in the excerpts.
