President Trump In 'No Rush' For North Korean Nuke Deal

President Trump at the UN Security Council this week.

President Trump says he has 'all the time in the world' to reach an agreement with North Korea to get rid of its nuclear weapons.

Previously he had suggested that North Korea should dismantle its arsenal rapidly, but at a press conference at the United Nations he said:

"I don’t want to get into the time game. I got all the time in the world. I don’t have to rush it."

The US President suggested that the halt in missile testing and the letters he had exchanged with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un meant a deal wasn't as urgent now as it was previously.

Preparations for a second summit between President Trump and President Kim are underway.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo plans to travel to North Korea next month for talks to try to set up the meeting of the two leaders.
