On Sunday, US President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore despite his announcement earlier in the week that the much-anticipated rendezvous was cancelled. Sputnik discussed the latest developments in US-North Korea relations with Jenny Town, the managing editor of monitoring group 38 North.
According to Jenny Town, Kim Jong-un’s reported second summit with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in in the “truce village” of Panmunjom comes as a surprise amid uncertainty surrounding the Kim-Trump meeting.
While many speculate that the two heads of state might have discussed the possible encounter between the US president and the North Korean leader, Town said that “it’s hard to say what they talked about.” At the same time, she expressed some degree of certainty that the two had touched upon the issue, for instance the letter to Kim, posted on Trump’s Twitter, or how to put the US-North Korea summit back on track.
