Moon and Kim Meet To Discuss Proposed Summit With U.S.

North and South Korean leaders meet to discuss possible summit with U.S.

President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un met today to discuss a possible summit with the U.S. 

The meeting between the South and North Korean leaders just north of the DMZ today lasted for two hours the South Korean government said in a statement. 

The pair "exchanged their opinions" on whether a summit between the U.S. and North Korea could be successfully planned. Moon is scheduled to announce the results of his meeting with Kim Sunday morning, local time according to the statement from South Korea. 

Trump himself seemed to warm back to the idea of meeting with Kim. Just days after cancelling the proposed summit, the president posted tweet writing that his administration was having "very productive talks" with the reclusive nation. 

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.

Trump canceled the summit on Thursday due to recent statements from Pyongyang that he said were filled with "tremendous anger and open hostility." North Korea issued a statement Friday saying they were still willing "to give the U.S. time and opportunities" to reconsider holding talks "at any time, at any format." 

The summit comes as relations on the Korean peninsula have warmed in recent weeks. Just hours before Trump called off the summit, North Korea invited foreign journalists to watch as they demolished their nuclear test site.
