Trump told reporters on his way to board the presidential helicopter that US officials were in talks with North Korea after the country’s “very nice statement” on Friday. “We are talking to them now,” he said, adding that the summit with Kim may proceed and “it could even be the 12th". He added that North Korea “inwardly highly appreciated” Trump for agreeing to the summit, originally scheduled for Singapore.
