President Donald Trump confirmed in a press conference on Sunday afternoon that he will be meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) later in the day, raising hopes that a short but friendly meeting could further help denuclearization talks.

“I have been told that Kim Jong Un would like to meet,” Trump told reporters earlier a bilateral meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Trump said that officials were in the “final stages of working out a very quick meeting.”
