This photo provided by the North Korean government, shows North Korean leader Kim Jong Un speaks during a parliament session at the Supreme People’s Assembly, which was held on Sept. 20-21, 2025 in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meets with Chinese leader Xi Jinping Experts say Kim likely hopes to restore ties with China, North Korea’s biggest trading partner and aid provider, as there have been questions about the bilateral relationship. “Personally, I still have good memories of U.S. President Trump,” Kim added. President Trump told visiting South Korean President Lee Jae Myung last month that he would like to meet with Kim Jong Un this year. He has repeatedly referred to North Korea as a “nuclear power.”That implies recognizing North Korea as a nuclear state, which is something previous U.S. administrations and foreign governments have consistently opposed.
