President Donald Trump agrees to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un by May to discuss denuclearization.
The announcement comes after a briefing by South Korean National Security Adviser Chung Eui-yong.
“President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization,” Chung said outside the West Wing of the White House.
The South Korean delegation was at the White House to tell officials about the country's recent talks with North Korea. They reportedly delivered a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to Trump.
National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster will brief the U.N. on the details, CNN reported.
Earlier this week, a South Korean delegation, led by Chung Eui-yong, President Moon Jae-in's national security adviser, and National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon, went to Pyongyang. The delegation met with Kim.
