Speaking to reporters on Monday before a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the White House, Trump highlighted his relationship with the North Korean leader.

When asked specifically if he wanted to meet with Kim this year or next year, Trump responded, "Well, I'm meeting a lot of people. I mean, it's hard to say that, but I'd like to meet him this year."

The comments came during Trump's scheduled talks with the South Korean president at the White House.
