US President Trump says Kim received a letter from North Korea's Secretary of State. Kim said he didn't like the ROK-US training, but he added himself. The atmosphere for resuming North American working talks is being reestablished.

President Trump says he received a personal note from Kim Jong-un yesterday.

[Trump / US President: I received a letter yesterday. It was delivered in person, and no one opened a letter. A letter was delivered directly from my office to my office.]

All of the letters are very positive, saying they think they will have another meeting with Kim.

Kim also said in his letter that he had a negative view on ROK-US training.

[Trump / US President: Kim Jong-un did not like the ROK-US training. What we do is small training. But Kim didn't like it and wrote it in a letter.]

He added that he did not like ROK-US combined training.

[Trump / US President: I never like ROK-US combined training. Because I hate paying for training. We have to get the training back, and we have said so in Korea.]

The response seemed to wrap up Kim's negative position on ROK-US combined training.

As a result, there are some observations that the possibility of a breakthrough in resuming negotiations between the two countries is likely to be triggered by this letter.

President Trump said earlier that last year, after the North American summit in Singapore, he disliked the United States-US training because of cost reasons.

President Trump says the United States has been in a very difficult position when it comes to the conflict between Korea and Japan and that Korea and Japan should be doing well.
