He said that his most recent meeting with the North Korean leader took place after he announced his visit to South Korea online. If necessary, he is ready to send a message in the same way - through the Internet - given limited channels of communication between the two sides at the moment, Trump noted.

The latest meeting between Trump and Kim was held in June 2019 in Panmunjom, a truce village in the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas.

It was the third face-to-face meeting between the two leaders, following their meetings in Singapore in June 2018 and in Vietnam in February 2019.
