Our top story this morning...<br />U.S. President Donald Trump says next week's summit in Hanoi with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un might not be his last face-to-face meeting with Kim.<br />However, he's stressing the regime has to do something "meaningful" if it wants the weight of sanctions lifted off its shoulders.<br />Lee Ji-won has more. <br />U.S. President Donald Trump has again stressed that he and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have a "very good relationship," but that sanctions will be in place until more is done. <br /><br />"The sanctions are on in full. As you know, I haven't taken sanctions off. I'd love to be able to, but in order to do that, we have to do something that’s meaningful on the other side."<br /><br />This comes as President Trump fielded questions from reporters at the White House prior to his bilateral talks with Austria's Chancellor on Wednesday. <br />And as if to further lure North Korea into taking that "meaningful" step, President Trump also reiterated the potential he sees in North Korea's economy. <br /><br />While stressing that he'll be meeting with Kim Jong-un for two days this time, President Trump hinted on the likelihood of having more summits with Kim. <br /><br />"But we've made a lot of progress. We've made a tremendous amount. That doesn't mean this is going to be the last meeting, because I don't believe it will. But we have subjects to discuss which will be very fruitful, I believe."<br /><br />This comes in line with President Trump saying that he is in no rush over North Korea's denuclearization on Tuesday. <br />He said he doesn't have any pressing time schedule and that as long as there is no nuclear testing, he is in no hurry.<br /><br />These remarks add to speculation that Trump is trying to lower expectations about the upcoming summit,... with no complete denuclearization deal reached this time as well. <br /><br />Some observers suggest the meeting could first settle on a nuclear freeze for now.<br />Lee Ji-won, Arirang News. <br />
