There remains room for the U.S. and North Korea to make a deal, President Donald Trump said on Monday, in comments in which he praised his continued good relationship with DPRK leader Kim Jong Un.

Speaking at a cabinet meeting in which he largely focused on the ongoing troop withdrawal from northern Syria and a growing domestic political scandal over U.S. relations with Ukraine, the President also hinted that the U.S. could help with a “major rebuild” in North Korea.

The remarks are some of the President’s first on North Korea since working-level talks between the two countries in Stockholm fell apart
