Trump suggests Kim summit could still take place as scheduled

President Trump floated the idea Friday that his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un — which the commander in chief bagged a day earlier — could still take place on June 12.

“We’re going to see what happens. We’re talking to them now,” Trump said. “It could even be the 12th . . . We’d like to do it.”

The president, who spoke to reporters at the White House before heading to the Naval Academy graduation, stressed that both sides still want the summit to happen despite the North’s bellicose and insulting language this week, including a description of Vice President Mike Pence as a “political dummy.”

“They very much want to do it,” the president insisted.

Despite pulling the plug on the sit-down, Trump says he’s held out hope that the two leaders could get together to discuss the North’s nukes, trade sanctions and other issues that have long divided the two countries.

In a tweet earlier Friday, the president praised a “warm” North Korean statement that the regime was still willing to stage talks with the US “at any time, at any format.”

“Very good news to receive the warm and productive statement from North Korea,” Trump tweeted. “We will soon see where it will lead, hopefully to long and enduring prosperity and peace. Only time (and talent) will tell!”

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Friday there was “possibly some good news” about a summit.

Speaking at the Pentagon, Mattis said diplomats were working to get the summit, planned for Singapore, back on track. Mattis dismissed the recent back-and-forth between Trump and North Korea as the “usual give and take.”

A White House advance team still plans to travel to Singapore for a logistics meeting on the proposed summit, Politico reported. The team of about 30 White House and State Department staffers hoped to “keep the door open,” a White House official told the Web site.

The president agreed to the bilateral meeting with Kim in March with little input from his national-security or foreign-policy teams. In past presidential summits, negotiators for both sides would spend months working out the parameters and details of the talks.

The president had said earlier that “everyone” thought he should get the Nobel Peace Prize for agreeing to the sit-down, and loyalist lawmakers submitted his name for consideration.
