Trump said he won’t visit North Korea, even though he already did

Donald Trump doesn’t intend to visit North Korea any time soon, he said, despite the fact that he had already visited the country.

A South Korean reporter cited diplomatic sources saying Kim Jong-un had invited the US president to visit Pyongyang in August after denuclearisation talks petered off.

However, after a reporter asked Trump if news of the invite is true, he said: “I don’t want to comment on that.”

He added: “The relationship is very good, but I don’t want to comment on it,'" Reutersreported.

Trump was then asked whether or not he’d be willing to go to North Korea and he explained:

Probably not. I don’t think it’s ready. I don’t think we’re ready for that. I would do it sometime at – sometime at a later future.

And depending on what happens, I’m sure he’ll love coming to the United States also. But, no, I don’t think it’s ready for that. I think we have a ways to go yet.

Trump has already visited North Korea.

In June, Donald Trump made history after he entered North Korea and shook hands with Kim Jong-un in the demilitarised zone between North and South Korea.

In fact, North Korea commemorated the moment by releasing a series of stamps showing the pair shaking hands and also signing a joint agreement.

The stamps have reportedly been obtained by the Japanese media outlet Kyodo News from a stamp shop in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.

A total of three stamps have been released so far, one featuring the handshake, the second the signing of the document and thirdly the document itself.

The US president even hung a photo of himself in the White House meeting the North Korean leader in the demilitarised zone.

So there’s that.
