The Washington Post:
President Trump said Wednesday he does not need to “rush” an agreement with North Korea to dismantle its nuclear program, and the process could take as many as three years — a longer time table than his national security adviser John Bolton has previously laid out.
“We’re not playing the time game. If it takes two years, three years or five months, it doesn’t matter. There’s no nuclear testing, and there’s not testing of rockets,” Trump said at a news conference on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
Trump put forth an optimistic outlook on the status of the talks, citing a series of letters he received from Kim Jong Un and the North Korean leader’s decision to halt nuclear testing as evidence of a diplomatic breakthrough that staved off an imminent war with the isolated regime.
