President Donald Trump said he didn’t expect to meet Kim Jong Un until after U.S. elections in November, as the administration struggles to secure disarmament commitments from North Korea.
The U.S. president said his campaign schedule prevented meetings before the Nov. 6 vote, in which Republican control of Congress hangs in the balance. Still, he said the administration had “made incredible progress” in negotiations over Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program and was considering three to four locations for a second summit.
