Kim Jong-un sets conditions after Trump suggests third summit

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has said he is interested in meeting Donald Trump again only if the US comes with the right attitude, the regime’s state media said on Saturday, after the US president earlier floated the idea.
Kim said the breakdown in talks with the US had raised the risks of returning to past tensions, and that he would wait “until the end of this year” for the US to decide, according to state news agency KCNA.
“What is needed is for the US to stop its current way of calculation, and come to us with a new calculation,” Kim said in a speech to the Supreme People’s Assembly on Friday, KCNA said.
Trump and Kim have met twice, in Hanoi in February and Singapore in June, building goodwill but failing to agree on a deal to lift sanctions in exchange for North Korea abandoning its nuclear and missile programs.
