US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that Russia would help with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and offered an enthusiastic update on the US process of negotiating with the DPRK side over nuclear weapons.

“Russia has agreed to help with North Korea (DPRK), where relationships with us are very good and the process is moving along,” said Trump on Twitter.

At the same time the tweet was published, the RIA news agency reported that a summit between the leaders of Russia and the DPRK is “on the agenda.”

Trump met DPRK leader Kim Jong Un last month in the first US-DPRK summit and received a letter from the reclusive leader expressing hope for “practical actions” in the future.
