United Nations, United States- US President Donald Trump said Monday he expected to meet again soon with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying he saw "tremendous progress" in easing tensions.
"It looks like we´ll have a second summit quite soon," Trump told reporters at the United Nations.
"As you know Kim Jong Un wrote a letter -- a beautiful letter -- asking for a second meeting and we will be doing that," added Trump, who met with Kim in Singapore in June.
He said that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo -- whose last planned visit to Pyongyang was abruptly scuttled by the White House -- would arrange the summit "in the immediate future."
Trump´s remarks come one year after he stunned the United Nations General Assembly with a blistering attack on North Korea in his speech, threatening to "totally destroy" the communist state and mocking the projectile-building Kim as "rocket man."
But Trump has since billed his diplomacy with North Korea as a key diplomatic success, saying that risks of a conflict have receded.
"Tremendous progress on North Korea," Trump told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York.
"That was a very dangerous time. This is one year later, a much different time."
