Exclusive: Trump would talk to North Korea's Kim, wants to renegotiate climate accord
NEW YORK | By Steve Holland and Emily Flitter
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program, proposing a major shift in U.S. policy toward the isolated nation.
In a wide-ranging interview with Reuters, Trump also called for a renegotiation of the Paris climate accord, said he disapproved of Russian President Vladimir Putin's actions in eastern Ukraine, and said he would seek to dismantle most of the U.S. Dodd-Frank financial regulations if he is elected president.
The presumptive Republican nominee declined to share details of his plans to deal with North Korea, but said he was open to talking to its leader.
"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," he said.
Asked whether he would try to talk some sense into the North Korean leader, Trump replied, "Absolutely."
North Korea's mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump's remarks.
Trump, 69, also said he would press China, Pyongyang's only major diplomatic and economic supporter, to help find a solution.
"I would put a lot of pressure on China because economically we have tremendous power over China," he said in the interview in his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan.

Bump
“I would put a lot of pressure on China because economically we have tremendous power over China,” he said in the interview in his office on the 26th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan.”
A lot better approach than what Albright did.
I’m sure he’d let the dog eater have his space while putting the pressure on our allies in the south.
Ignoring the fact that Cameron, unprovoked, called Trump "stupid." All Trump said in retaliation is that given Cameron's rudeness, prospects for a good relationship don't look good. All the insults were leveled by Cameron. But the Clinton campaign doesn't care about truth, obviously.
He is supposed to meet Kissinger tomorrow
No reason to talk to the madman and falsely increase his legitimacy.
Bad move to say this.
Did he say he’d “ love” to talk to him or he’d talk to him?
Maybe Trump can get Dennis Rodman to set up something !
I hope Trump,talks to everyone
Sells Jong Un some Trump steaks and persuades him to defect
Might save some lives
“Trump...wants to renegotiate climate accord “
He doesn’t need to renegotiate it, he needs to repudiate it and then ignore it.
This is the 3rd generation of North Korean leadership we haven’t “ talked to”
Seems that our idea of legitimacy may be a bit different than theirs and that of the UN
Opposite. Clinton would simply sell the south out. To the highest bidder.
No money? No care.
A sane person realizes it is a waste of time to seriously talk to an insane person.
The Nork leaders have God complexes.
There is no upside talking to him.
Looks like he is setting up a good cop / bad cop scenario where he talks to them and forces China to be the bad cop. Who knows, better than sitting around continuing the status quo that has seen North Korea develop nuclear weapons.
.
And puts this on the table:
Trump: Hey! Little fat dude. Behave yourself, or ELSE...
I’d be all for it, if the first thing Trump said was “About 20 minutes ago, we vaporized the Pueblo” . . .

There is no upside talking to him.<<<<<
Yes, there IS an upside. The upside is that the ‘insane’ person is let without excuse in the eyes of his sane neighbors.
He can never say ‘they refused to even listen’.
Such a discussion could prove interesting since both men are strong personalties.
In any event, if NorkUN fails to carry his end of the load, the onus is on him!
Oh great.
