* North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said he's willing to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, according to NBC News.
* The news comes after a recent meeting between Kim Jong Un and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
* U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to meet with Kim Jong Un by the end of May.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said he's willing to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, a Trump administration official familiar with the policy told NBC News on Sunday.
The news comes after Kim Jong Un went on an unofficial visit recently to Beijing, where he met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. If accurate, the move would effectively pave the way for a high level summit between Kim and President Donald Trump.
It was reported late last month that China said it had won a pledge from Kim Jong Un to denuclearize the Korean peninsula, where Xi Jinping pledged in return that China would uphold its friendship with its isolated neighbor.
