Former President Donald Trump appeared on the verge of winning the U.S. 2024 presidential election on Wednesday, setting the stage for a sea change in North Korea policy and possible resumption of personal diplomacy with DPRK leader Kim Jong Un.

Trump claimed victory in a speech in Florida, while world leaders flocked to congratulate the former president. The conservative outlet Fox News called the election for Trump, though most major outlets had still not declared a winner as of 4:30 a.m. EST. Vice President Kamala Harris delayed a planned speech but has yet to concede the race.
