“We'll be meeting on June 12 in Singapore," the president told reporters after the North Korean emissary left the White House.
He called Friday's meeting with North Korea's Kim Yong Chol a "great start." Trump confirmed that the visiting official gave him a personal letter from dictator Kim Jong Un, though he hadn't yet read it.
Trump spoke to reporters after an extraordinary scene played out on White House grounds, with Trump hosting the North Korean official for over an hour in the Oval Office -- the latest gesture in an effort by both sides to get talks back on track after North Korea's belligerent rhetoric prompted Trump to nix the summit last week.
Trump said the meeting was supposed to just be about "the delivery of a letter" but ended up being a lengthy conversation with the "second most powerful man in North Korea."
“We talked about a lot of things," Trump said. "We really did. But the big deal will be on June 12.”
After the meeting, Trump and Secretary of State Pompeo were seen taking photos with the visitors.
