North Korea's Kim says he is open to talks if US drops denuclearisation demand

North Korea's Kim Jong Un said there was no reason to avoid talks with the US if Washington stopped insisting his country give up nuclear weapons, but he would never abandon the nuclear arsenal to end sanctions, state media reported on Monday.

"Personally, I still have fond memories of US President (Donald) Trump," KCNA reported the North Korean leader saying in a speech at the Supreme People's Assembly on Sunday. The two leaders met three times during Trump's first presidency.
