South Korea Urges Bold Step Toward Peace
President Donald J. Trump may soon make history once again.
South Korea’s unification minister is urging the former president and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to take a “bold decision” and meet face-to-face during Trump’s upcoming five-day trip to Asia.
Chung Dong-young, South Korea’s unification minister, said both leaders “must not miss this chance.” He told Yonhap News that only through direct talks with President Trump can North Korea improve its international standing and deliver a better life for its people.
“Peace and stability can only be guaranteed through dialogue with President Trump,” Chung said.
Trump’s Leadership Defined a New Era of Diplomacy
President Trump will visit Malaysia, Japan, and South Korea as part of his Asia tour.
While the White House has not confirmed a scheduled meeting with Kim, officials say Trump remains open to direct talks without preconditions — a hallmark of his bold foreign policy approach.
A senior official reminded reporters that President Trump held three unprecedented summits with Kim Jong Un during his first term, defusing nuclear tensions and bringing stability to the Korean Peninsula — something no previous administration achieved.
“President Trump remains open to talking with Kim Jong Un. U.S. policy on North Korea has not changed,” the official told Fox News Digital.
A Historic Relationship Rekindled
The last Trump–Kim meeting took place on June 30, 2019, inside the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea — a powerful, symbolic moment watched around the world.
In late September, Kim Jong Un himself said he still has “good personal memories” of Trump and saw “no reason not to” resume dialogue with the United States — provided Washington drops its “delusional obsession with denuclearization.”
Those words mark a rare admission of respect from Pyongyang, and a potential opening for renewed diplomacy under Trump’s America-first leadership.
North Korea’s Latest Move Raises Tensions
Just days before Trump’s Asia visit, North Korea test-fired several short-range ballistic missiles — a clear signal of the regime’s desire to assert leverage ahead of potential talks.
Analysts say the launches may also underscore how much Pyongyang still recognizes Trump’s unique influence on global affairs.
The World Watches — Can Trump Make History Again?
As tensions rise across Asia, allies and adversaries alike are watching to see whether President Trump can once again deliver peace through strength — the same strategy that reshaped America’s standing in the world during his first term.
With renewed interest from both sides, another historic Trump–Kim meeting could mark a turning point — not only for the Korean Peninsula, but for global stability and America’s role as a force for peace.
