US President Donald Trump said Monday that it is "probably not" the right time for him to visit North Korea but he could see doing so sometime in the future.
"I don't think we're ready for that," Trump told reporters when asked about visiting Pyongyang for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. "I think we have a ways to go yet.
"The relationship is very good," Trump added, but the time was not right for a visit to Pyongyang.
"I would do it at sometime, at sometime in a later future," he said.
"And depending on what happens, I'm sure he'll love coming to the United States also."
The pair agreed to restart working-level dialogue during an impromptu meeting at the DMZ in June, and Pyongyang last week offered to hold those talks in late September, a move the US said was "encouraging."
