Minutes after sending the tweet, Trump told reporters that he had "just thought" of extending the invitation "this morning."The Hill on Monday that he "might" want to meet Kim at the DMZ, a fact the White House asked the publication to withhold out of security concerns. “We’ll be there and I just put out a feeler," Trump told reporters ahead of a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the G-20 summit of the world's largest economies. "I don’t know where [Kim] is right now, he may not be in North Korea."Trump last met Kim in Vietnam in February, attempting to build off of their prior summit in Singapore the summer before.
"Frankly, if I didn’t become president, you’d be in a way right now with North Korea," he said. "We’d be having a war right now with North Korea. And by the way, that’s a certainty, that’s not a maybe."
