00:01U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that he will be meeting with North Korean leader
00:07Kim Jong-un later this year. Trump also gave an unusually specific assessment of North Korea's
00:14nuclear weapons capabilities, saying they possess 57 nuclear weapons.
00:19I get along with him right. And you know what? The fact that I get along with him,
00:23that's a good thing, not a bad thing. He has 57 very powerful nuclear weapons.
00:28Should have never allowed it to happen. They should have never allowed it. If I were president,
00:33I wouldn't have allowed it. But he's got it. Trump gave no further details on the planned
00:37meeting with Kim, which would be their first since Trump's first term in the White House.
00:42The announcement comes days after Trump scaled back joint U.S.-South Korea military drills,
00:49which he said sent an inappropriate and hostile signal to Pyongyang. He also described North
00:56Korea as unthreatening and respectful during his presidency, though it has conducted a series
01:03of missile tests during that time.
