WASHINGTON, DC – AUGUST 15: White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders calls on reporters during a news conference in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House August 15, 2018 in Washington, DC. 

President Donald Trump has received what the White House said is a “very warm, very positive letter” from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, requesting a follow-up meeting with Trump after the summit in Singapore earlier this year.

“The primary purpose of the letter was to request, and look to schedule another meeting with the president,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters at the press briefing Monday. It was a request, she said, “which we are open to and already in the process of coordinating.”

“The recent parade in North Korea, for once, was not about their nuclear arsenal,” Sanders said, adding that the letter was “further evidence of progress” in the Trump administration’s goal of denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.
