WASHINGTON -- U.S. President Donald Trump said he sees no need to set a timeline for North Korea's denuclearization as long as the regime has stopped its nuclear testing.

Speaking in a press conference in New York, Trump said he doesn't want to be drawn into a "time game" over how long it will take to dismantle the North's nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

"If it takes two years, three years or five months, doesn't matter. There's no nuclear testing, and there's no testing of rockets," he said at the end of his visit to the United Nations General Assembly. Trump said North Korea plans to shut down more of its missile and nuclear sites but wouldn't give details. "They have no interest right now in testing nuclear," he said.
