Kim says ready to meet Trump 'anytime,' warns of 'new path'

In a nationally televised New Year address, Kim said denuclearization was his "firm will" and North Korea had "declared at home and abroad that we would neither make and test nuclear weapons any longer nor use and proliferate them." Kim added that Pyongyang had "taken various practical measures" and if Washington responded "with trustworthy measures and corresponding practical actions ... bilateral relations will develop wonderfully at a fast pace." "I am always ready to sit together with the U.S. president anytime in the future, and will work hard to produce results welcomed by the international community without fail," Kim said. In response to the news, Trump wrote on Twitter, "I also look forward to meeting with Chairman Kim who realizes so well that North Korea possesses great economic potential!" There was no immediate comment from the White House.
