Hours after cancelling a historic meeting with Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump now says the meeting is still on and that his administration has restarted talks with North Korea. So the Singapore summit to be held on June 12 still holds the possibility of Trump -Kim Jong Un meeting.

“We’ll see what happens. We’re talking to them now,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House on his way to speak at the U.S. Naval Academy graduation. It was on Thursday that Trump cancelled the summit citing “tremendous anger and open hostility” from the part of North Korea as reasons for cancelling the meeting. But on Friday morning, Trump changed his tone and said there is very good news that he received ‘warm and productive statement’ from North Korea in which the country indicated it’s willingness to talk. Here is his tweet.
Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea. We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!

In a statement issued Thursday evening in response to the summit cancellation, North Korean official Kim Kye-gwan said Pyongyang is “willing to give the U.S. time and opportunities” to reconsider negotiations “at any time, at any format.” Kim added that “we remain unchanged in our willingness to do everything we can for the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula and of the humanity.
Pacifists all across the world desperately want the meeting between Trump and KIm Jong Un to take place as at one point it almost seemed the two nuclear armed nations and their statements may escalate in to a war.
