North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is still willing to meet with the U.S., Chinese state media reported late Tuesday, confirming reports that he was in Beijing on a surprise trip. According to multiple reports, state TV network CCTV said Kim and his wife were in Beijing for the past four days, his first trip outside his country since taking power in 2011. Kim and Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly discussed proposals to improve relations, and Kim apparently said he was committed to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. Earlier this month, President Donald Trump surprisingly accepted Kim’s invitation to meet later this year, although there has been no official response from North Korea since then.
