“At a certain time I will [travel to Pyongyang]. That will be a day I very much look forward to. I also will be inviting chairman Kim at the appropriate time to the White House. He has accepted… we want to go a little bit further down the road,” Trump said.

However the president did offer a degree of caution when he said that it's too early to establish diplomatic ties. "It's not a big deal to meet. I think we should meet on a lot of different topics not just this one,” he said.
