President Trump has asked South Korea to send a birthday message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a South Korean official said Friday.
South Korea's Director of the National Security Office, Chung Eui-yong, informed reporters of Trump's request at Incheon Airport on Friday. Chung was returning from a visit to Washington where he briefly met with Trump on Wednesday -- Kim's birthday."President Trump remembered, and as he said well-wishing remarks about Chairman Kim Jong Un's birthday, he requested that it'd be good if President Moon can deliver that message to Chairman Kim Jong Un," Chung said.
But despite occasional outreaches to each other, Kim said there"will never" be denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula if the US"persists in its hostile policy towards" North Korea, and indicated that his country could soon resume nuclear weapon testing.Trump's birthday message this week is not the first instance of such a greeting between the two leaders.
