[On-point] U.S. shows interest in re-engaging in talks with N. Korea --Will Trump, Kim meet again?

As we just heard, the United States has reaffirmed that it's willing to engage in talks with North Korea.

And this comes as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is set to hold his first summit with Trump since taking office soon.

For more on North Korea issues and bilateral relations between Seoul and Washington, we're joined by Professor Kim Dong-soo, Professor of international and area studies at Pukyong National University.

1. Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump are set to meet this month, possibly on the 25th. Security issues are widely expected to top the agenda, right? How do you think the negotiations will unfold?

2. Trump has repeatedly said he's interested in re-engaging with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. What's your take on a possible meeting between Kim and Trump? Do you think they will be able to meet again during Trump's second term?

3. Looking at the broader region, Trump previously set an August 8 deadline for a peace agreement on the Ukraine war, and warned Russia of sanctions if it fails. And the White House is now saying a meeting between Trump and Putin could happen as early as next week. Could this meeting lead to a rapid end to the war?

4. Trump also hit India with 50% tariffs for buying Russian oil, and the Indian prime minister is set to visit China for the first time in 7 years. Could these tariffs backfire and potentially open a door for China to build stronger ties with both India and Russia?

Alright, Professor Kim. Thank you so much for your insight today. We appreciate it.
