> Donald Trump says he plans to meet Kim Jong Un later this year, but North Korea responded by firing about 10 short-range ballistic missiles. Kim Yo Jong said Pyongyang was completely unaware of any talks and suggested that only fully cancelling US-South Korean drills would count as goodwill. With no date, venue or agenda confirmed, a meeting remains uncertain.
