Moon, Kim discuss scrapped summit as Donald Trump signals optimism

Trump abruptly canceled the planned summit in a letter to Kim on Thursday

 

The leaders of North and South Korea met for two hours on Saturday to discuss the canceled summit with Donald Trump, less than a day after the U.S. leader signaled the meeting may be back on citing “very productive” talks between the two countries.

South Korea’s Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, in a surprise move, spent two hours together at the truce village of Panmunjom, and had a candid discussion about the potential U.S.-Korea meeting, Moon’s office said in text message. Moon will brief the media on the unexpected meeting at 10 a.m.
