Japan and the United States are arranging for their leaders to meet successively within only a week around a landmark U. S.-North Korean summit next month, Japanese government sources said Sunday.
The plan is for Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and U. S. President Donald Trump to meet before and after Trump’s summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on June 12 in Singapore, the sources said.
The two leaders will first meet on the fringes of the summit of Group of Seven industrialized nations in Canada on June 8 and 9. After meeting Kim, Trump may drop by Japan on his way home to brief Abe on the outcome of the summit, the sources said.
Tokyo will be coordinating with Washington over Trump’s potential trip to Japan, one of the sources said, adding the schedule has not yet been fixed.
