US-North Korea summit could take place ‘at any time,’ says South’s spy agency
South Korea's intelligence agency disclosed to lawmakers that a North Korea-US summit "could take place at any time," citing "signs of dialogue" between the nations, according to Rep. Youn Kun-young, the ruling Democratic Party's ranking member on the National Assembly's Intelligence Committee. While the NIS did not confirm any specific contact, it stated that the possibility of such a summit is "very real."
The agency also suggested that North Korea's involvement in talks with US President Donald Trump may reduce the likelihood of sending more troops to Russia, but remains uncertain. President Trump has been attempting to resume negotiations with North Korea, praising Kim's reaction to his outreach and describing their talks as "very positive."
The White House appears to be making behind-the-scenes preparations for a possible summit, according to Kelly McKeague, director of the US Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency.
