Donald Trump on North Korea's Kim Jong Un: 'I Would Have No Problem Speaking to Him'
Donald Trump has declared that he is willing to meet and talk with the isolated nation ruled by Kim Jong Un.
In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, the Republican presidential hopeful said, "I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him." For many years, the U.S. and North Korea have had no formal diplomatic talks or conferences but Trump believes there is good in his cause to speak with Kim.
While he is willing to hopefully establish a good diplomatic relationship with North Korea, Trump clarified that he will push China to engage in talks regarding the reclusive ways of the Asian nation.

"At the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China because economically we have tremendous power over China," the business mogul explained.
It is worth noting that China is North Korea's major backup and though Barack Obama tried to convince China to put more pressure on Kim's realm, the efforts had to stop due to fears of the possible consequences.
Chairman of Trump's national security advisers Sen. Jeff Sessions believes that the businessman's plans regarding North Korea may be worth it one day. Speaking to CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Sessions said, "I think it's unlikely that a good result would come out of it, but to attempt something like that may be worth the effort."
Meanwhile, the Republican frontrunner has finally released a list of possible people who can someday sit in the Supreme Court if he wins the presidential race. The release comes after many Republican leaders cast doubts on his candidacy and if he would be able to pick the right people to hopefully settle the Supreme Court's highest seat.
Justice Antonin Scalia's untimely passing in February further ignited debates on whether Trump would be able to reasonably fill missing spots in the court. With the list out it is expected that Republican leaders would later express their insights on Trump's picks.
According to The New York Times, Trump's list includes: Dianne S. Sykes of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, while the federal appeals court judges on the list include Raymond M. Kethledge of the Sixth Circuit, and Steven M. Colloton of the Eighth Circuit.
