North Korea is willing to talk with the United States and hold a summit between the two countries, he said. China briefed Trump on Kim's visit and the communication included a personal message from Xi to Trump, the White House said in a statement. We see this development as further evidence that our campaign of maximum pressure is creating the appropriate atmosphere for dialogue with North Korea," the statement said. Xi had accepted an invitation from Kim to visit North Korea, KCNA and South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported. Kim Jong Un's father, Kim Jong Il, met then-president Jiang Zemin in China in 2000 before a summit between the two Koreas in June that year.
