Trump, North Korean official meet to try to revive summit

None

WASHINGTON - A top aide to Kim Jong Un met with US President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Friday to deliver a letter from the North Korean leader as the two sides try to revive an on-again, off-again nuclear summit.

 

Kim Yong Chol was greeted at the White House by chief of staff John Kelly and then whisked into the Oval Office. He is the most senior North Korean to visit the White House in 18 years, a highly symbolic sign of easing tensions after fears of war escalated amid North Korean nuclear and missile tests last year.

 

The contents of the letter were not immediately known.
