South Korea's chief presidential security adviser, Chung Eui-yong, made a one-day trip to Pyongyang on Wednesday and held talks with the North's leader amid a deadlock in denuclearization negotiations between the United States and the North.

During the talks, Kim told Chung's delegation that he remains firmly committed to denuclearization and that his faith in Trump remains unchanged, even though nuclear negotiations with the US encountered difficulties, according to Chung.

Kim was also quoted as saying he's never spoken ill of Trump to anybody. (Yonhap)
