SEOUL, South Korea — A train possibly carrying the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, entered China on Monday, the South Korean news media reported, stoking speculation of a face-to-face meeting with President Xi Jinping before Mr. Kim’s second summit meeting planned with President Trump. The train, which appeared to be transporting a senior North Korean official, passed through Dandong, a Chinese city on the border with North Korea, at 10:15 p.m. on Monday, the South Korean news agency Yonhap reported, citing an anonymous source. Other South Korean news media outlets carried similar reports. South Korea’s Hankyoreh newspaper reported that Mr. Kim planned to arrive in China between late Monday and early Tuesday to hold his fourth summit meeting with Mr. Xi. The Chinese authorities have taken similar security precautions for previous visits by North Korean leaders.
