President Trump announced the date for his summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un Thursday morning.
The highly anticipated meeting between Kim Jong Un and myself will take place in Singapore on June 12th. We will both try to make it a very special moment for World Peace!

The summit will be held in Singapore after a meeting in the DMZ between North and South Korea was considered, but ultimately rejected.
Trump's announcement comes just hours after meeting three freed American hostages at Joint Base Andrews early in the morning.

The hostages, Dong Chul Kim, Sang-duk “Tony” Kim and Hak-Song Kim, were handed over to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo two days ago after a meeting with Un.

Headed back to #DPRK at the invitation of the North Korean leadership. I look forward to planning a successful summit between President Trump and Kim Jong-un.

I had productive meetings in Pyongyang with Chairman Kim Jong-un and made progress. I'm delighted to bring home three Americans.
