Trump Upbeat, U.S. 'Ready For Today' As North Korea Summit Hour Nears

According to Reuters on Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump said his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore on Tuesday would show if a “real deal” could happen. While Trump expressed optimism, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo injected a note of caution, saying it remained to be seen if Kim was sincere about his willingness to denuclearize. Officials of the two sides held last-minute talks to lay the groundwork for the summit that was almost unthinkable just months ago.
