Trump Moon Jae-in wall

U.S. President Donald Trump met with the Republic of Korea President, Moon Jae-in, at the White House on Tuesday. The leaders discussed the planned nuclear talks between Trump and the Democratic Republic of Korea leader, Kim Jong Un, expected to take place in three weeks. 

But, President Trump is now raising doubts about whether next month’s summit with the DPRK will even happen.

The proposed summit between Trump and Kimn is scheduled to take place on June 12 in Singapore.

During a meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-In in Washington, Trump said there’s a chance the meeting could be postponed.

President Moon met with Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone in April and came to Washington to share his insights. CGTN’s Nathan King reports.
