Kim Jong Un might be the world’s most in-demand leader. US President Donald Trump wants to meet him during a visit to Asia next month.

President Donald Trump said he would be willing to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping but indicated his focus would be on denuclearization efforts rather than ending the war in Ukraine.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a 45‑minute bilateral with Russian President Vladimir Putin at Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam during the opening day of the BRICS summit, and is slated to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping later that evening.
