(UTV|COLOMBO) – US President Donald Trump says “very productive talks” have been held with North Korea on reinstating the summit with leader Kim Jong-un, the BBC reported.
In a tweet, Mr Trump said the meeting could still take place on 12 June in Singapore “and if necessary will be extended beyond that date”.
He cancelled the summit on Thursday, blaming the North’s “open hostility”.
But North Korea later appeared conciliatory, saying it was willing to talk “at any time in any form”.
Shortly before Mr Trump’s tweet, the South Korean presidency said it was thankful that the “summit embers are not put out and it is coming back to life”.
