Abe: 'Full support' from Trump for meeting with Kim

Published Updated

"I feel I have to meet face-to-face with Chairman Kim without attaching any preconditions and exchange frank views with him... President Trump... said he will give full support needed for that," Abe said.

Abe has said that a face-to-face meeting with Kim is the only way to solve the emotional issue of Japanese people who Tokyo believes were abducted by Pyongyang, but Kim has so far shown little interest in a summit.
