US President Trump said that Kim Jong-il had exchanged friendly relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, saying that there would be a phenomenal future for North Korea if he pursues denuclearization. There has been a news story that a large Chinese bank has been in a crisis to deal with the suspected violation of sanctions against North Korea, although the dialogue between North Korea and the United States is blowing.

First news, Washington correspondent Kim Soo - hyeong reports.

President Kim has officially confirmed his letter as President of the Republic of Korea.

Although President Trump did not disclose details, he said that all of the letters sent by North America were very friendly.

[Trump / President: That was a very friendly letter. Kim sent a happy birthday letter. Both of our friends in North America were very friendly. We have a very good relationship.]

We urge North Korea to make a decision to denuclearize repeatedly that there will be a phenomenal future.

[Trump / President: I talked about North Korea. North Korea has a wonderful future.]

When North Korea visits the DMZ when President Trump travels to North Korea as he runs diplomacy with top-down diplomacy, what message to announce to Chairman Kim Jong-un is a matter of concern.

It is said that the US government's position on dialogue and sanctions for complete denuclearization remains unchanged.

The Washington Post reports that one of the three largest Chinese banks may be blocked from accessing US financial systems for alleged sanctions against North Korea.

It is believed to be the 9th largest bank in Shanghai, Pudong.
