South Korean Prime Minister Kim Min-seok met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington to discuss the potential resumption of direct talks between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
During the meeting, Prime Minister Kim reminded Trump that he remains the only Western leader to have engaged in direct diplomacy with Pyongyang and may be uniquely positioned to broker a breakthrough on the Korean Peninsula's long-standing nuclear standoff. Trump reportedly expressed curiosity about whether the North Korean leader would be open to renewed engagement, asking Kim for his perspective on the matter.
While the South Korean prime minister did not disclose specific proposals, he indicated that recent statements from Pyongyang suggest Kim Jong Un could be receptive to fresh dialogue with Washington. Trump, according to Kim, showed considerable interest in the possibility.
This would mark a significant diplomatic shift, as Trump previously held three rounds of summits with the North Korean leader between 2018 and 2019 aimed at dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program. Those talks ultimately collapsed and were never revived after Trump left office in 2021.
The Washington visit also addressed economic ties. Prime Minister Kim met with Vice President JD Vance a day earlier, highlighting South Korea's parliament passing a bill to greenlight a $350 billion investment commitment to the United States — a move Vance welcomed as fulfilling the legal groundwork of a broader trade agreement. The development comes after Trump threatened a 25% tariff on South Korean imports in January over delays in legislative approval.
Amid the diplomatic activity, South Korean media reported the redeployment of U.S. missile defense systems from Osan Air Base, reportedly bound for Saudi Arabia and the UAE amid ongoing Middle East tensions — underscoring the complex web of global security commitments both allies continue to navigate.
