Trump to Meet One-on-one With Kim During Historic Summit

President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will reportedly kick off their highly anticipated summit Tuesday with a one-on-one meeting with just their translators.

An unnamed White House official  told ABC News the two leaders  will later hold an expanded meeting with their advisers.  Negotiators from both sides  reportedly met  Monday to nail down further details for the summit, which is taking place at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa island in Singapore.  North Korean state media said Trump and Kim are  expected to discuss  denuclearization as well as a "permanent and durable peacekeeping mechanism on the Korean Peninsula." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo  told reporters  Monday, "North Korea has previously confirmed to us its willingness to denuclearize, and we are eager to see if those words prove sincere." Trump and Kim are scheduled to meet Tuesday at 9 a.m. local time.  Additional reporting from  Newsy affiliate CNN .
