(WASHINGTON) — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says he's open to speaking with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to try to halt the communist nation's nuclear program.

"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, told Reuters in an interview Tuesday.

"At the same time I would put a lot of pressure on China because economically we have tremendous power over China," he added.
