North Korea’s Kim Jong-un said he has fond memories of President Trump and suggested he would be open to resuming talks if the U.S. dropped its long-standing demand for denuclearization as a pre-condition to diplomacy.
Speaking to the Supreme People’s Assembly on Sunday, Kim made clear that he would never surrender his nuclear weapons program.
“The world already knows well what the United States does after forcing other countries to give up their nuclear weapons and disarm,” Kim said in his speech, which was published by state media Monday.

Kim added that he still holds “good personal memories” of Trum
