SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump received a "very warm, very positive" letter from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un asking for a second meeting and the White House is looking at scheduling one, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said on Monday.

The two countries have been discussing North Korea's nuclear programmes since their leaders met in Singapore in June, although that summit's outcome was criticised for being short on concrete details about how and whether Kim is willing to give up weapons that threaten the United States.
