US President Donald Trump received a letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as the two continue to discuss Pyongyang’s commitment at a recent Singapore summit to rid itself of nuclear weapons, but no second meeting is currently planned, the White House said on Thursday.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said Trump had received a letter from Kim on Wednesday and had responded with a note that should be delivered shortly. Trump also posted a note on Twitter on Thursday thanking Kim for returning the remains of US soldiers and saying he looked forward to seeing Kim again.

“He did receive a letter,” Sanders told a White House briefing. “There is not a second meeting that is currently locked in or finalised. (We’re) certainly open to that discussion, but there isn’t a meeting planned.”

“We have responded to Chairman Kim’s letter - the president has - and that letter will be delivered shortly,” Sanders told reporters....

Of course not, hand-written. Kim used the finest newest Nork technology: a dot-matrix printer.

Trump is creating the Kim he can work with, just as he is creating the Putin he can work with.

Former leaders had no clue how to work with these people.

For supposedly being so abrasive, Trump has built a lot of bridges not possible before.

I was reading, and it sounds reasonable, that there might be cultural undercurrents. Kim is only a week or so older than Eric Trump, so that Kim might be looking at Donald Trump as a father figure? Thus, more respect than normal?

I have been watching Korean TV.

One thing that comes across is formality and respect for elders.

Not a father figure perhaps but age.

I believe that Kim sees Trump as 100% trustworthy.

Which is the whole ballgame, as Kim is literally placing his life in Trump’s hands to the extent this goes through.

It went the way of the other 86,302 fake stories about Trump.

There are still 443,329 more fake stories about Trump to come.

President Trump is strongly charismatic say people who have met and dealt with him. No one in North Korea would dare to lord it over Kim, so Trump would be a refreshing experience, like dealing with his grandfather was.

Not a whole bunch of people live to be a spry, able 72 in a country without adequate food and healthcare.

POTUS Trump should make Jim Acosta the new Ambassador to North Korea. Well, the only Ambassador ever to North Korea.

Then Jim can start a Nuclear War to show Trump what’s what.

If you were President Trump, would YOU risk a phone call, knowing they’re all bugged? Hopefully, he can trust the courier.
