Trump team weighs direct talks with North Korea’s Kim in new diplomatic push: Reuters

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is exploring direct talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to reduce the risk of armed conflict, according to two sources familiar with the discussions.
Trump’s team believes that a direct approach to Kim could help build on existing relationships after years of insults and a previous diplomatic effort. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared to dismiss the idea of renewing nuclear diplomacy with Trump, stating his first comments on the matter since the election.
