Master negotiator Donald Trump has revealed he could be taking his skills to a new boardroom — in North Korea!
In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, the presumptive GOP nominee said he would be willing to speak with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in an attempt to halt Pyongyang's nuclear program.
"I would speak to him. I would have no problem speaking to him," Trump said.
Trump did not share specific details of his plan to deal with the rogue state, but insisted he would have no issue confronting the dictator head-on.
