In remarks to reporters Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that the planned June summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore “may not work out.” The president declined to discuss specifics while sitting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the Oval Office, but said, “If it doesn’t happen, maybe it will happen later.” “We’re moving along. We’ll see what happens...you’ll know soon,” Trump added, according to the White House pool report. The president reportedly did not say whether he’d spoken to Kim, but said he would be “very happy” if the deal ended up working out.
