• North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wants to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula during President Donald Trump’s first term.
• Kim told South Korean officials that his faith in Trump remains “unchanged.”
• Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet in the North Korean capital on September 18.
• The North Korean leader added that formally declaring an end to the Korean War, a significant demand to the US from North Korea, will have nothing to do with the pulling US troops out of South Korea, according to South Korean officials.

SEOUL (Reuters) – North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wants to denuclearize the Korean peninsula during US President Donald Trump’s first term, as he agreed to hold a third summit with his South Korean counterpart this month in Pyongyang, Seoul officials said on Thursday.

Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet in the North Korean capital on Sept. 18-20, during which they will discuss “practical measures” toward denuclearization, the South’s national security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, told reporters a day after meeting Kim in Pyongyang.
