Donald Trump has said he would be prepared to meet Kim Jong-Un and speak to him about scaling back North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," he told the Reuters news agency
Asked whether he would try to talk some sense into the North Korean leader, Mr Trump replied: "Absolutely."
North Korea's mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mr Trump's remarks.
In a separate interview with Fox News presenter Megyn Kelly, Mr Trump also admitted he has "regrets" and could have used "different language in a couple of instances" during his controversial White House campaign.
The presumptive nominee defended his combative style, calling himself a "counter-puncher" and insisting that if he had been less aggressive then he would not have been so successful.
It was the first time that Kelly and Mr Trump had faced each other since a feisty exchange in a television debate back in August 2015, when Kelly challenged Trump about some of the offensive words he had used to describe women he didn't like.
The property tycoon implied she was treating him badly, tweeting later that she was a "bimbo" and a "lightweight", and then in a phone interview infamously commenting that the journalist asked him tough questions because she had "blood coming out of her wherever".
In this latest interview, Kelly asked him about why he had re-tweeted some of the offensive messages his fans had posted about her.
A boyish, slightly embarrassed Trump emerged.
