President Trump said he had contacted North Korea recently, while North Korea was postponing the negotiations. It was a positive statement, but said the talks would resume when North Korea is ready.

It is reported by Son Suk Min correspondent in Washington.

President Trump has said he has been in good contact with North Korea recently, saying it is still good to ask about its relationship with North Korea since the Panmunjeom meeting.

[Trump / President: Recently, I have had some contact with North Korea. It was very positive.]

President Trump said that instead of the word Letter, which refers to a familiar sentence, Coles Spandons has a somewhat broader meaning.

It was not clear whether the opponent was Kim Jong Eun.

Trump also said there is no question of whether there is a schedule for talks with North Korea.

North Korea has said it is time to prepare for the resumption of negotiations.

[Trump / President: Perhaps North Korea wants to meet, too, so let's see what happens. I think at some point North Korea will be ready when we are ready.]

Like last week's remarks, "Time is not essential and there is no rush", North Korea is properly prepared to send a message to meet.

Secretary of State Pompeii urged the North to change its stance, saying, "I hope that the talks will begin soon," he said in a broadcast interview. "I hope North Korea will take a different stance when it appears in the negotiating table."
