WASHINGTON ― U.S. President Donald Trump remained optimistic about the prospects for North Korea's denuclearization, citing the regime's invitation of outside inspectors to its nuclear and missile sites.
Speaking Thursday at a midterm election campaign rally in Missouri, Trump mentioned that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has committed to allowing international inspectors to survey the Punggye-ri nuclear testing site and the missile engine testing facility in Dongchang-ri.
The North has taken steps to dismantle both facilities, but has still fallen short of U.S. demands for complete and verifiable denuclearization.
"If you read the papers today, it came out to the surprise of a lot of people ― not a surprise to me ― that they don't mind having people come over, the experts, and check the sites," Trump said.
"We're doing well," he added, listing a series of goodwill actions by Pyongyang, including the return of U.S. prisoners and remains of American soldiers from the 1950-53 Korean War.
Trump said he had a "great talk" with Chinese President Xi Jinping about North Korea, including what he alluded to as the reduction of Chinese trade across the border with the North.
"The border is holding. And they've been honorable. And they're doing what they said they were going to do," Trump said.
North Korea is under tight international economic sanctions for its nuclear weapons program, and the U.S. has vowed not to lift them until it denuclearizes.
"We haven't taken sanctions off," Trump said. "And hopefully, we'll be able to when we're down the road. We want to take the sanctions off. We want North Korea to be very successful."
Trump boasted of his "very good" relationship with Kim.
"We are getting to a point where they really want to do something," he said. "And we're not going to have to worry about millions of lives being lost and nuclear weapons going up all over the place and flying over Japan and everybody else."
Trump is expected to hold a second summit with Kim early next year, following the first summit in Singapore in June that produced a statement committing the North to work toward "complete" denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in exchange for security guarantees from the U.S.
"Let me tell you, we would be in a nuclear war right now if the right person didn't come along," Trump said. "So we're doing well. We're doing well." (Yonhap)
