Trump says US may ‘do something’ with DPRK citing open communication channels

The remarks came in response to a reporter’s question about whether the U.S. may reach out to North Korea, given Trump’s early outreach to Russia, China and Iran — the latter of which rejected a letter from the U.S. president requesting direct talks.
