DHAKA: Donald Trump said that he is willing to meet the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to discuss Pyongyang's nuclear programme.
Such a meeting would mark a significant change of US policy towards the politically isolated regime, BBC reports on Wednesday (May 18).
Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton responded by decrying his ‘bizarre fascination with foreign strongmen’.
The statement, from one of her aides, added that Trump's foreign policy ‘made no sense’.
In a separate development, the BBC has learned that Trump could visit the UK before the presidential election in November.
Diplomats expect his visit to the UK could happen after he formally becomes the Republican Party candidate at a convention in July.
Earlier this week Trump said ‘it looks like we're not going to have a very good relationship’ with the UK.
British Prime Minister David Cameron and new London Mayor Sadiq Khan have harshly criticised Trump's proposed ban on Muslims coming to the US.
