During a meeting at the White House, US President Donald Trump expressed his willingness to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

The discussion focused on establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula and addressing Pyongyang's nuclear weapon capabilities.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who was visiting the White House, highlighted Trump's interest in global peace issues and requested his assistance in resolving tensions between North and South Korea.

Lee emphasized that Trump is uniquely positioned to make significant progress towards peace on the Korean Peninsula.

The meeting also saw announcements of substantial investments by South Korean businesses in the US, totaling over $150 billion.

In exchange for this support, Lee requested that Trump help establish better relations with North Korea.

Trump agreed to consider a meeting with Kim and expressed optimism about improving relations between the two nations.

However, there are concerns regarding North Korea's expanding nuclear capabilities and its recent test launches of new air defense missiles.

Despite these challenges, both leaders remain open to dialogue and potential peace initiatives.
