South Korea’s top national security official said Monday that there is a « 99.9 percent chance » that a planned meeting between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore will go off without a hitch.
Chung Eui-yong, national security adviser to South Korean President Moon Jae-in, played down reports that the June 12 talks could be on shaky ground, but acknowledged that Seoul was « preparing for many different possibilities. »
« We believe there is a 99.9 percent chance the North Korea-U. S. summit will be held as scheduled, » Chung told reporters during a flight to Washington. « But we’re just preparing for many different possibilities. »
Chung’s comments were reported by South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency on Tuesday.
The remarks come days after Pyongyang canceled talks with South Korea, citing concerns about Seoul’s joint military exercises with the U.
