Trump may resume direct diplomacy with North Korea: experts –

Former U.S. President Donald Trump is returning to the White House, leaving analysts to speculate whether he will resume direct diplomacy with North Korea as part of his second-term agenda.

During his time in office, Trump developed an unusually friendly relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. He held two summits with Kim although he walked away from the Hanoi summit with “no deal” in 2019. In his campaign rallies, Trump has repeatedly boasted of his friendship with Kim, signaling his apparent desire to reengage with the North.

“I got along very well with him (Kim Jong-un). I got along with them and we stopped the missile launches from North Korea. Now North Korea is acting up again. When we get back, I get along with him. He’d like to see me back, too. I think he misses me,” Trump said during his acceptance speech as the Republican nominee for the presidential election in July.

“Trump prefers a top-down style, interacting with leaders one-on-one,” Andrew Yeo, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and professor of politics at the Catholic University of America, said.
