North Korea’s Kim looking to ‘achieve results’ with Trump in 2nd summit amid nuclear standoff
By: Christopher Bodeen, The Associated Press  
BEIJING — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has reportedly told the leader of his only major ally, China, that he wants to “achieve results†on the nuclear standoff on the Korean Peninsula during a second summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.
The comments, contained in Chinese state media reports Thursday, came a day after Kim left Beijing on his special armored train after a two-day visit to the Chinese capital.
Kim's trip to China — his fourth in the past 10 months — is believed to be an effort to coordinate with Beijing ahead of a possible second summit with Trump. It comes after U.S. and North Korean officials are thought to have met in Vietnam to discuss the site of the summit.
