President Lee Jae-myung said on the 29th that the fact that U.S. President Donald Trump requested a meeting with Kim Jong-un, the North Korean State Affairs Commission chair, and said he could accept it at any time, in itself creates a considerable warmth of peace on the Korean Peninsula.
At the South Korea–U.S. summit held that day at Gyeongju National Museum, Lee said, "It fell through because Chairperson Kim Jong-un has not yet fully accepted the president's (Trump's) sincerity," adding this remark.
Lee said, "Chairperson Kim has not accepted or understood the president's (Trump's) true inner intent," but added, "This will also become another seed and serve as a starting point for creating a great wave of peace on the Korean Peninsula."
Lee added, "For our part, we will watch the president's (Trump's) future activities with great expectations."
