Washington, June 7 (IANS) The upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore could extend into a second day if it goes well, informed
sources told CNN. US officials have laid the groundwork for a second day of meetings if the two men decide they want to continue discussions, the sources said on Wednesday. Trump and Kim are
due to meet on June 12 for the first time and the US leader is due to return home the next day, but American officials in Singapore have established a contingency plan for a second day of
discussions. However, the White House is still yet to confirm the development. It's not clear if Trump is eager for a two-day summit with Kim, but he has expressed a desire for
flexibility in the negotiations and stressed to aides and US allies that he plans to follow his gut as he negotiates with the North Korean leader, the sources told CNN. The summit will be a
historic first meeting between a sitting US President and North Korean leader. Talks will begin at the Capella Hotel on Singapore's Sentosa Island at 9 a.m. on June 12. The US has
stressed that it is seeking complete and verifiable denuclearisation of North Korea, but a week ahead of the summit, questions remain about whether Kim is truly committed to achieving that
aim. US officials emphasise that it is a decision Kim still needs to make. (This story was auto-published from a syndicated feed. No part of the story has been edited by THE QUINT.)
