Trump: North Korea still preparing summit 'like nothing happened'

Listen

North Korean officials are continuing to hold talks on next month's planned summit with the United States despite this week's threat to cancel the meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump says.

"We are continuing to negotiate in terms of location -- where to meet, how to meet, rooms, everything else - and they've been negotiating like nothing happened," he said Thursday at the White House.

Trump said it "will be very interesting" if the June 12 meeting in Singapore is scrapped, after Pyongyang said it might cancel if the U.S. demands complete denuclearization.

"I can only say our people are literally dealing with them right now in terms of making arrangements for the meeting," he said. (dpa)
