South Korean's national security adviser announced Thursday at the White House that Trump agreed to an invitation from Kim to meet by May.

The Post also cited Trump's reference to Kim as "little rocket man," a derisive nickname first used in a speech before the United Nations General Assembly last year as the president demanded tougher sanctions on North Korea.

The meeting will mark the first between Trump and Kim, and comes just weeks after the first bilateral talks between the two Koreas in over a decade.

South Korean officials said Trump accepted the meeting "to achieve permanent denuclearization."
