Desperate Trump Chasing Date With Kim Jong Un

President Donald Trump is trying to reconnect with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as his other diplomatic efforts sputter, according to a report.

The 80-year-old president, who once said that he and Kim “fell in love” through their letter exchanges, has been pressing his aides to arrange a meeting with the brutal despot, The Wall Street Journal reports, citing U.S. officials.

Trump is hoping to resurrect his unsuccessful first-term bid to persuade Kim, 42, to abandon North Korea’s nuclear weapons program, according to the Journal. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in November, which will be held in Shenzhen, China, could serve as a backdrop for a rendezvous.
