And Sweden is said to play a role in this – since the contact between the countries goes through Sweden's embassy in Pyongyang, according to the news site. The Swedish ambassador, who represents American interests in North Korea, is said to have visited Washington last week.

The meeting is said to have primarily dealt with taking the temperature of the US regarding their engagement in Pyongyang, according to a source.

During Trump's first term, he met with dictator Kim Jong-un twice, but according to the news site, none of the North Korean officials who were then involved in diplomacy are still around.

We are evaluating, analyzing, and discussing possible ways forward, including dialogue, says a source.
