U.S. President Donald Trump is pushing for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as soon as this fall, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing U.S. officials. The talks would be aimed at in-person discussions during Trump’s next planned trip to Asia, potentially later this year.
The report says Trump has privately discussed setting up the meeting during a possible November trip tied to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Shenzhen, China. NDTV repeats the same account, also attributing the information to the Wall Street Journal. Reuters, however, is reported to have been unable to immediately verify the claim, underscoring that the proposal has not been confirmed by the U.S. or North Korea.
Overall, both outlets present the same core timing and venue context—an in-person Trump-Kim meeting in the fall, potentially November—while differing mainly in how they frame sourcing and verification status.
