SAVING THE SUMMIT: President Trump may have technically canceled the June 12 summit with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, but a flurry of diplomatic activity is underway based on the idea it could still take place two weeks from now in Singapore.

South Korean media is reporting it could even turn into a three-way summit, with South Korea President Moon Jae-in joining the talks. This morning, Trump tweeted that North Korea’s senior negotiator Kim Yong Chol is heading to New York.

“We have put a great team together for our talks with North Korea,” he wrote. “Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more. Kim Young Chol [sic], the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York. Solid response to my letter, thank you!

On Friday Trump tweeted, “We are having very productive talks with North Korea about reinstating the Summit, which, if it does happen, will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June 12th., and if necessary, will be extended beyond that date.”
