Kim Jong-un calls for vigilance on domestic goals, ignores Trump's overtures

Wednesday, 26 August 2026, 06:32 · 1 min read

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has called for "extraordinary responsibility and high prudence" in carrying out state projects, presiding over a key politburo meeting of the ruling Workers' Party of Korea (WPK) — North Korea's governing body — while making no mention of U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated attempts to reengage with Pyongyang. State media said the meeting reviewed progress on economic policy tasks and that Kim acknowledged "a series of deviations" in economic management, without specifying what these entailed. The silence is notable as Trump has publicly signalled his desire to revive diplomacy with Kim, recently reposting messages about scaling back joint U.S.–South Korea military exercises and sharing photographs of himself alongside the North Korean leader.
