00:00U.S. President Donald Trump says he would like to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as soon as this year.
00:07Trump made the remark on Monday during a meeting with South Korea's new president Lee Jae-myung.
00:14Lee encouraged Trump to continue to help with Korean peace efforts and even proposed the idea of a Trump Tower in Pyongyang.
00:30So, I hope you can win the role of the world and the world will be a maker of the world.
00:39Well, thank you very much. It's an honor to be with you.
00:42I will say that Kim Jong-un and I had a very good relationship, as you remember, and still do.
00:49And we'll have talks. He'd like to meet with me.
00:54He didn't want to meet with Biden because he had no respect for Biden.
00:58But we look forward to meeting with him and we'll make relations better.
01:03Before he met with Lee, Trump took to social media on Monday and threatened not to do business with Seoul
01:09because of a, quote, purge or revolution that he claimed was taking place in the country.
01:15However, any tensions between the two quickly disappeared after Lee showered the U.S. president with praise.
