Summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un could still go ahead on June 12: Trump

Trump

US President Donald Trump today said his summit with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un could still happen on June 12 after officials on both sides started talking, a day after he cancelled it, citing Pyongyang's "open hostility". 

Trump said the lines of communication had opened between the two countries after Trump administration officials yesterday said that the North Koreans had become unresponsive, leading to the planned summit's cancellation. 



"We'll see what happens. We are talking to them now," Trump said at the White House before boarding Marine One for a commencement address in Annapolis. 

"They very much want to do it. We'd like to do it. We will see what happens," he said. 

Trump appeared to be optimistic even about the cancelled June 12 summit in Singapore. "It could be even on 12th June, he said in response to a question. "We will see what happens," said the US President.
