N Korea official Kim Yong-chol 'heads to US for talks'One of Kim Jong-un's most senior officials is thought to be travelling to the US, as preparations for a possible historic summit gather pace. South Korean news agency Yonhap said Gen Kim Yong-chol was due to arrive in the US on Wednesday, via Beijing. If confirmed, the visit would be part of a flurry of activity ahead of the proposed meeting between Mr Kim and US President Donald Trump. He would be the most high profile North Korean official to visit the US since 2000. Also on Tuesday, a "pre-advance" team from the US was due to meet North Korean officials in Singapore, said US officials.
