Donald Trump’s summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore on 12 June is back on, the US president says, a week after it was scrapped.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump made the announcement after talks with a senior North Korean envoy at the White House.<\/p>\n

The envoy, General Kim Yong-chol, hand-delivered a letter from the North Korean leader to President Trump.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump at first said the letter was “very interesting” but later said he had not yet opened it.<\/p>\n

He also said the issue of formally ending the Korean War would be on the table in Singapore.<\/p>\n

The 1950-53 conflict only ended with a truce, not a final peace treaty.<\/p>\n

“We’ll be meeting on June 12th in Singapore. It went very well,” President Trump told reporters on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n

“We’ve got to know their people very well,” he added.<\/p>\n

Mr Trump cautioned that the summit might not achieve a final deal on the North’s controversial nuclear programme.<\/p>\n

“I never said it goes in one meeting. I think it’s going to be a process, but the relationships are building and that’s very positive,” he said.<\/p>\n

The historic meeting between Mr Trump and Kim Jong-un would be the first between sitting US and North Korean leaders. President Trump has offered to help rebuild the North’s economy if it scraps its nuclear weapons. Kim Jong-un says he is committed to “denuclearisation” in some form but his precise demands are unclear.<\/p>\n
