S. Korea-U.S. summit to focus on DMZ meet-up with N. Korea‘s Kim Jong-un
Although nothing has been confirmed, the presidential office said it‘s ready for all possibilties. That could mean the two-way summit Trump mentioned on Twitter… or a Moon-Kim-Trump summit. There is also the possibility that President Moon might join his American counterpart at the DMZ after their summit meeting this morning. So we might actually see the two leaders strolling the heavily fortified border together today something that was once tried two years ago, but did not happen because of the weather.
Trump says DMZ meeting with Kim will be very short
He said he was told that Kim „would like to meet“ him and it seems that, „They are in the final stages of working out a very quick meeting.“

The official welcoming dinner came in advance of their formal summit talks the following day, with Trump also scheduled to visit the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which serves as the inter-Korean border. He hopes for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un there but it‘s unclear whether Kim will show up.

U.S. ready for talks with N.K. to make ‚simultaneous and parallel‘ progress: nuke envoy
U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun made the remarks when he met with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Do-hoon, a day before U.S. President Donald Trump visits Seoul for summit talks with President Moon Jae-in, according to the foreign ministry.
Xi‘s visit to North
It is particularly noteworthy that Xi‘s visit to the North is taking place right before the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, June 28 and 29. President Trump is expected to visit South Korea around the time of the G20 Summit for a meeting with President Moon Jae-in. Therefore, the key players in the denuclearization talks are gathering in this part of the world at the same time.
