President Trump continued to tease the re-scheduling of a meeting with Kim Jong Un, tweeting on Monday that a top North Korean official is en route to New York City for meetings on the possible summit.“We have put a great team together for our talks with North Korea," Trump tweeted. "Meetings are currently taking place concerning Summit, and more. Kim Young Chol, the Vice Chairman of North Korea, heading now to New York. Solid response to my letter, thank you!”
Trump did not detail what he meant by "my letter;" he could have been referring to the missive he disclosed last week calling off the Kim meeting that had been scheduled for June 12 in Singapore.
Since then, Trump has said North Korea has been responsive to the point where the meeting could be re-scheduled.
In a Sunday tweet, Trump spoke of the summit in the present tense by saying that "our United States team has arrived in North Korea to make arrangements for the Summit between Kim Jong Un and myself. I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial Nation one day. Kim Jong Un agrees with me on this. It will happen!"
