The relationship between the two leaders has ranged from insults and threats in 2017 to the then-landmark meeting in 2018. But negotiations stalled after US President Donald Trump rejected Kim Jong Un’s demand for sanctions relief.
Most analysts believe North Korea would prefer a Trump victory. They see his impulsiveness, such as when he unilaterally cancelled joint military exercises with South Korea, as their best chance of getting relief from sanctions.
In contrast, a presidential victory for Joe Biden would likely be a return to the more traditional policy of "strategic patience", keeping up sanctions pressure and international isolation.
Biden has said he would not meet Kim without preconditions, describing him as a "tyrant" and a "thug".
North Korea, in turn, called Biden a "rabid dog".
Kim has called for a rare governing party congress to convene in January 2021, to announce a new five-year plan for the crippled economy, where he is also likely to map out the future strategy towards the US, based on the election outcome.
