US President Joe Biden hasn’t ruled out a face-to-face meeting with Kim Jong-un, but insists that the North Korean leader would need to show the right attitude for it to happen.
Biden was asked about the possibility of such a summit in Seoul on Saturday during his visit to South Korea, which opened his first Asian tour since taking office.
A meeting with Kim “would depend on whether he’s sincere and whether he’s serious,” the US president said.
Biden also issued a joint statement with South Korea’s newly elected President Yoon Suk-yeol, confirming that Washington and Seoul had agreed to “expand the scope and scale of combined military exercises and training on and around the Korean Peninsula.”
