US President Donald Trump emphasized North Korea’s economic potential in remarks at the G7 Summit in France, adding that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is also well aware of it. The remarks appeared to be part of a series of conciliatory gestures toward Pyongyang with the aim of resuming working-level talks on denuclearization.
Speaking at a joint press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron on the summit’s final day on Aug. 26, Trump was replying to a question on Iran when he added that Kim “is a man with a country that has tremendous potential.”
Trump also mentioned North Korea’s geographical advantages, noting that it is “in between China, Russia, and South Korea.”
“People want to get to South Korea,” he continued, adding, “If they’re going to do anything other than essentially fly, they want to go through.”
