North Korea leader asks US for 'right attitude'

Saturday, 13 April 2019 11:04

North Korea says it's more than happy to take part in further talks with the USA but only if the latter displays the "right attitude".

Kim Jong-un said that was the only way he would agree to take part in a third summit with US President Donald Trump.

The comments were reported by North Korean state media on Saturday.

Kim urged Trump to agree to a deal that was "mutually acceptable" for both sides.

The leaders have met twice so far, once in Singapore last year and a second time in Hanoi in February.

However, the latest talks in Vietnam were cut short over denuclearisation steps.
