Preparations for the summit have included secret, direct talks with North Korea, Trump administration sources told CNN. US and North Korean intelligence officials are said to have spoken many times, and met in a third country. The unprecedented summit is slated to happen in May. It will be the first time a sitting US president has met the leader of North Korea.
North Korea has already told South Korea it is prepared to discuss denuclearisation, but this is the first time assurances have been given to Washington directly.
