Trump says June 12 meeting with North Korea's Kim going ahead as planned

President Donald Trump said a June 12 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is going ahead as planned, after the president met with a top lieutenant to Kim. Trump told reporters after Gen. Kim Yong Chol met with him at the White House that he didn't expect to sign something at the summit in Singapore. "I never said it will all happen in one meeting," Trump said. He described the summit as a "getting-to-know-you meeting, plus." Trump is demanding North Korea denuclearize.
