The leaders of North and South Korea met at the Korean border Saturday, hours after Trump suggested that the June 12 summit may still go ahead.
SEOUL, South Korea — The leaders of North and South Korea met in the demilitarized zone separating the two countries on Saturday, hours after President Donald Trump suggested his June 12 summit with Kim Jong Un may still go ahead.
Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in reportedly discussed the denuclearization agreement the two leaders signed when they first met at the border last month, according to a statement released by South Korea’s presidential Blue House, as well as the potential summit with Trump.
Saturday’s surprise talks between the rival Koreas came hours after Trump told reporters that the planned June 12 summit in Singapore, which he abruptly canceled on Thursday, might still be salvaged.
“We’re going to see what happens,” he told reporters. “We’re talking to them now. It could even be the 12th” of June.
The president then tweeted late Friday night that the two countries are having „very productive talks“ about reinstating the summit.
