US President Donald Trump said today he plans to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong Un next month or in early June, indicating a historic summit between the Cold War rivals is still on track.
Speaking at the White House, Trump expressed hope that relations -- which for a century have been marked by war, animosity and a perilous arms race -- could be put on a friendlier footing.
Trump told reporters before a cabinet meeting that the summit would be sometime in "May or early June" -- letting the original May time line slip a little, but confirming the meeting is still on.
"I think there will be great respect paid by both parties and hopefully there will be a deal on denuking," he said.
"Hopefully it will be a relationship that will be much different than it has been for many, many years."
