South Korea would accept a Trump-Kim deal to freeze nuclear programme, president tells BBC
South Korean President Moon Jae-in expressed South Korea’s willingness to accept a potential deal between former President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to freeze North Korea’s nuclear program. In an interview with BBC on Tuesday, President Moon acknowledged that such an agreement, if reached, could pave the way for further denuclearization negotiations between the United States and North Korea.
The statement comes as efforts to resume diplomatic talks with North Korea have stalled since the Hanoi summit between Trump and Kim in 2019. President Moon emphasized the importance of restarting dialogue between the two nations and expressed hope that a Trump-Kim deal could jumpstart the diplomatic process.
President Moon’s remarks signal South Korea’s eagerness to facilitate communication and potential agreements between the US and North Korea, with the ultimate goal of achieving peace and stability in the region. The president’s stance aligns with his administration’s longstanding commitment to promoting inter-Korean dialogue and cooperation.
Both the United States and North Korea have not yet officially responded to President Moon’s comments. However, the potential for renewed engagement between the two countries could offer a glimmer of hope for progress in addressing the longstanding nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
