SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator welcomed on Friday U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that a "new method" be used in talks on Pyongyang's weapons programmes.

Kim Myong Gil praised Trump's "wise political decision" to seek a new approach to the stalled talks without a "troublemaker" in the U.S. administration -- an apparent reference to John Bolton, Trump's hawkish former national security advisor who resigned last week.
