U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says President Donald Trump remains open to talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, but that no meeting is scheduled. Speaking after a Group of 20 foreign ministers’ meeting in Atlanta, Rubio says Trump would consider diplomacy if North Korea is prepared to discuss issues of concern to the United States and its allies, including South Korea.
The remarks come amid ongoing speculation about whether Trump and Kim could renew diplomacy. The reports also reference that Trump previously held three meetings with Kim during his first term. In addition, Rubio’s comments follow trilateral talks in Atlanta among Rubio and his counterparts from South Korea and Japan, where the three top diplomats reaffirm their commitment to cooperation.
Across outlets, the framing is consistent: all stress openness to dialogue while emphasizing the lack of any announced or scheduled summit. Korea Times provides the broader context of the diplomacy speculation and the allied talks, while Yonhap reports the same core information in a more straightforward feed format.
