SEOUL, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said that he has "fond memories" of U.S. President Donald Trump and claimed Pyongyang would be open to holding talks with Washington if the demand for denuclearization is taken off the table, state media reported Monday.
Kim made the remarks during a speech at the Supreme People's Assembly in Pyongyang on Sunday, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.
"If the United States abandons its vain obsession with denuclearization, acknowledges reality and desires genuine peaceful coexistence with us, there is no reason why we should not sit down with the United States, "Kim said.
"I personally still have fond memories of the current U.S. President Trump," he added.
