A South Korean lawmaker stated today that the country's intelligence services consider a summit between Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump to be "possible at any moment." This assessment comes amid new indications of dialogue between North Korea and the United States.

According to the parliamentarian, the information was provided by Seoul's intelligence agency, which has been closely monitoring interactions between the two countries. While no specific details about these signs of dialogue were given, the mention of a possible meeting was emphasized.

The last summit between the leaders took place in 2019 in a demilitarized zone between North Korea and South Korea, where significant relationship issues were discussed. Since then, relations between the two countries have been uneven, marked by moments of tension and attempts at dialogue.

The prospect of a new summit has been met with interest, given the impact that a meeting between Kim and Trump could have on regional security and broader negotiations regarding the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

The information has been reported simultaneously by several outlets, including RTP and UOL, highlighting the relevance of the issue both locally and internationally. Future developments regarding a possible meeting continue to be monitored by analysts and politicians.

The lawmaker's statements and the signs of dialogue emerge at a delicate moment, as both countries face internal and external challenges, making the situation especially dynamic and prone to rapid changes.
