Trump says will meet North Korea's Kim later this year
Washington (United States) (AFP) – US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un later this year, in what would be their first encounter of Trump’s second term.
Trump also said that North Korea had 57 “very powerful” nuclear weapons, in a rare and unusually specific assessment by a US president of Kim’s atomic arsenal.
“Yeah, I will be,” Trump told reporters during a tour of a new helipad he is building at the White House, when asked if he planned to meet Kim later in 2026.
Trump gave no details, but the Wall Street Journal reported that he was eying a meeting when he travels to China for an Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in November.
Trump defended planning to meet Kim at the same time as the US president wages a war with Iran that he has justified on the grounds of preventing Tehran from getting the bomb.
“He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons. Should have never allowed it to happen… If I were president, I wouldn’t have allowed it,” Trump said, referring to the North Korean leader.
“But he’s got them. I get along with him very well. I can’t let Iran have a nuclear weapon. And I know Kim Jong Un very well, and he’s going to be fine.”
Trump’s announcement comes two days after he ordered the United States to scale back “inappropriate and hostile” military drills with South Korea.
The US leader cited his “good relationship” with Kim in the decision.
Trump and Kim met three times in his first spell in the White House, and at the time he said they “fell in love” after exchanging “beautiful letters.” But they haven’t met in his second term.
In recent days Trump has dropped growing hints about communications with Kim, although he wouldn’t confirm on Wednesday that the pair were exchanging letters.
The powerful sister of Kim Jong Un said Wednesday she was “unaware” of reported communication between her brother and Donald Trump, but said ties between the two remained “excellent.”

Australians could opt out of social media algorithms under new law
Sydney (AFP) – Australians could be given the option of opting out of powerful social media algorithms under new legislation cracking down on big tech, a minister said Monday.
The draft law requiring a “digital duty of care” is expected to be introduced to Australia’s parliament this week.
It would require firms like Meta to give users the option of turning off algorithms that tailor recommendations to their personal taste.
“A lot of Australians appreciate the algorithm, both for the enjoyment they get out of it or the utility they get out of it,” Communications Minister Anika Wells told national broadcaster ABC.
“A lot of Australians will want to choose the algorithm – but we think that big tech should offer them the choice in the first place, and they should respect that choice.”
“We should give Australians more choice over what they should see on their feeds,” she said.
Social media firms have long faced scrutiny over their use of allegedly addictive algorithms and stand accused of directing users to sensational or extreme content to keep them scrolling.
Australia implemented legislation barring children from social media platforms in December, part of a world-first crackdown designed to protect children from online bullying and “predatory algorithms”.
The UK, France and others have followed suit.
Data last month found that under-16s in Australia were increasing their use of social media apps such as Instagram and TikTok despite the ban.
