Trump To Meet Kim Jong Un In Singapore

U.S President Donald Trump has announced that he’ll be meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on June 12th.

“We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!” the US leader tweeted.

In March, Mr Trump stunned the world by accepting an invitation to meet Mr Kim for an unprecedented sit-down.

The pair had previously exchanged insults and threats. The breakthrough came after landmark talks between North and South Korea.

Mr Trump’s announcement came hours after he welcomed home three US detainees released by North Korea.

Their release came during a visit to Pyongyang by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to arrange details of the meeting between Mr Trump and Mr Kim.

Trump made this known via his Twitter handle, saying:

The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!

If the meeting holds, it will be the first ever meeting between a sitting U.S president and North Korean leader. Kim Jong Un first invited Trump to meet in March.
