US President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un likely to meet in Singapore next month

US President Donald Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un are likely to meet in Singapore next month. Mr Trump had said at the weekend that the two sides had settled on a date and location for the summit, the first between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader. A South Korean daily quoting diplomatic sources today reported that the landmark summit will take place in mid-June. 

The report said the



possibility of Singapore hosting the landmark meeting had increased greatly, after a decision by Trump to host South Korean president Moon Jae-in at the White House later this month. Mr Trump had earlier suggested that the demilitarised zone between the two Koreas, the site of a recent summit between Kim and Moon, could also be an appropriate venue for his meeting with the North's leader.
