Trump suggests summit with N. Korea's Kim could be delayed

President Donald Trump suggested Tuesday that a planned historic meeting with North Korea's Kim Jong Un could be delayed, saying the summit "may not work out for June 12."

Trump raised the possibility that the meeting could be pushed back during a White House meeting with South Korea President Moon Jae-in as the two leaders sought to coordinate strategy as concerns mounted over ensuring a successful outcome for the North Korea summit.

Trump told reporters: "If it doesn't happen, maybe it happens later," reflecting recent setbacks to bring about reconciliation between the two Koreas.

The North pulled out of planned peace talks with the South last week, objecting to long-scheduled joint military exercises between US and the Republic of Korea forces, and it threatened to abandon the planned Trump-Kim meeting over the US insistence on denuclearizing the peninsula.

Moon said in the Oval Office that the "fate and the future" of the Korean Peninsula hinged on the talks, telling the US president that they were "one step closer" to the dream of a denuclearized Korean Peninsula.
