트럼프 "제재 풀려면 北이 뭔가해야…마지막 회담이라 생각안해"<br /><br />U.S. President Donald Trump has said that he expects to have more summits with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un even after their meeting in Hanoi next week.<br />But in the meantime, Trump is calling on Pyeongyang to take "meaningful" steps, if it wants to see sanctions lifted.<br />Our Lee Ji-won reports. <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 />"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 />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 />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 />"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 />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 />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.
