"They are talking about the summit" between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, he added.

US President Donald Trump said Wednesday he would be very disappointed in North Korean leader Kim Jong-un if these reports turned out to be true. The North Korean side has not reportedly either confirmed or refuted this information.
