Trump said that was under negotiation and there was a "good chance" of winning their release, but he wouldn't say whether that was a precondition for sitting down with Kim.

North Korea had previously cut those links in 2016 during inter-Korean tensions.

"They have my blessing", Trump, the self-proclaimed master dealmaker, declared.

The formal declaration of an end to testing comes after Kim stated in his New Year speech that the development of North Korea's nuclear force had been completed. The senior official added that the announcement needs to be studied carefully. "We've gone from, 'Maybe this will happen, ' to all of a sudden talking about a peace treaty and normalization of relations". "Though many want to believe it is".

Trump struck an optimistic note earlier this week about the possibility of a denuclearized North Korea. "Meeting went very smoothly and a good relationship was formed".

"As I had looked at the Korean Peninsula the last few years, things couldn't be worse", said Richardson, who served as US ambassador under President Bill Clinton and traveled to Pyongyang several times.

They "affirmed they would maintain pressure and sanctions to compel North Korea to abandon all weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible fashion", according to the Japanese minister.

Mr Trump confirmed the meeting in a tweet. He refers to Kim as "Rocket Man" and that he's "on a suicide mission for himself".

Kim and Moon are scheduled to meet on the South Korean side of the Demilitarized Zone next week in what will be the third such meeting between the two powers and the first time a North Korean leader sets foot on South Korean soil since the end of the war. "But they're not going to give up their nuclear weapons without reciprocal steps from the USA and others".

The president responded that his administration is "fighting very diligently to get the three American citizens back".

"If I think that if it's a meeting that is not going to be fruitful we're not going to go".

Next week, Kim is due to meet with South Korean president Moon Jae-in in the first inter-Korean summit in 11 years. "We felt like we got a call from our next-door neighbor", said Youn Kun-young, who directs the South Korean government's situation room.

In early March, Kim met with Moon's envoys in Pyongyang.

"Hopefully, that meeting will be a great success", Trump said. Pyongyang also promised to shut down its main nuclear research facility.
