WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump stated on Sunday that he is still looking at a summit on June 12 in Singapore with North Korean chief Kim Jong-un and things are transferring "very nicely" towards the assembly.
"We're looking at June 12 in Singapore. That hasn't changed. It's moving along pretty well, so we'll see what happens," Trump informed reporters at the White House throughout a gathering with a US prisoner freed by Venezuela.
His remarks came after the surprise assembly between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the demilitarised zone on Saturday throughout which the 2 leaders discussed the summit assembly with the USA.
"I just want to mention we're doing very well in terms of the summit with North Korea. Looks like it's going along very well," stated the USA president in response to questions from reporters.
"As you know there are meetings going on as we speak in a certain location, which I won't name. Like the location, it's not so far away from here. And I think there's a lot of good will. I think people want to see if we can get the meeting and get something done," he stated.
"If we got that done and if we can be successful in the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, it would be a great thing for North Korea," Trump added. "It would be a great thing for South Korea, be great for Japan and great for the world -- great for the United States, great for China."
Trump stated numerous individuals are running on it. "It's moving along very nicely," he stated.
When requested concerning the talks between Moon and Kim, the president replied, "the talks have gone very well."
On Thursday, Trump swiftly cancelled the proposed summit assembly with the North Korean chief on June 12 in Singapore and blamed Pyongyang's "tremendous anger" and "open hostility" for his dramatic resolution.
He had described the cancellation of the summit as "a tremendous setback" for North Korea and warned that the USA military is ready to act will have to Pyongyang take any "foolish and reckless" action.
But inside of 24 hours he stated the assembly could still cross ahead after productive talks have been held with North Korean officers.
Washington has made it clear it desires to look the "complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation" of the North. But Pyongyang has vowed it's going to by no means give up its nuclear deterrence until it feels protected from what it phrases US aggression.
In April, Trump had surprised the world by accepting a call for participation to satisfy Kim in an remarkable sit-down.
