US President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un are likely to meet to cement their talk by may.

South Korea’s national security director Chung Eui-yong, gave the hint after meeting senior U.S. officials, including Trump, on the recent inter-Korea talks outside the White House.

According to him, President Donald Trump has decided he will meet with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un “by May.”

Chung says Trump said, “he would meet Kim Jong Un by May to achieve permanent denuclearization” of the Korean peninsula.

According to him, Kim had told the South Koreans he is “committed to denuclearization” and pledged that “North Korea will refrain from any further nuclear or missile tests.”

Associated Press had reported that the meeting would be the first of its kind between a leader of North Korea and a sitting president of the United States.

The two countries have been in a formal state of war since the Korean War in the 1950s.

According to the report, President Donald Trump had earlier gave hint about the development which was later made by South Korea as a “major statement” about North Korea at 7 p.m. Eastern time Thursday.

An ABC News producer tweets that ABC reporter Jon Karl asked Trump privately if the statement will be about talks between the U.S. and North Korea. Trump responded: “It’s almost beyond that. Hopefully, you will give me credit.”
