North Korean leader Kim Jong Un praised President Donald Trump and was upbeat about denuclearization Jan. 24 after receiving a letter from Trump via envoys who traveled to Washington days earlier.

During meetings in Washington, U.S. officials and the North Korean envoys agreed to a second summit between Trump and Kim in late February. Kim expressed “great satisfaction” after receiving Trump’s letter and said Pyongyang “will believe in the positive way of thinking of President Trump,” according to North Korea’s state news agency, KCNA.
