U.S. President Donald Trump¹ said on Wednesday that his meeting with the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s top leader, Kim Jong Un, "will absolutely happen."

 

美国总统特朗普周三表示，他与朝鲜最高领导人金正恩的会面“绝对会发生”。

 

The summit scheduled for June 12 in Singapore "could very well happen," Trump told the media before departing to New York at the White House's South Lawn.

 

"Someday a date will happen. It could very well be June 12th," he said. "We'll know next week."

 

He added that it "will be a great thing" for the DPRK if the meeting comes true.

 

A day earlier, Trump hinted that his scheduled meeting with Kim may be delayed.

 

Chinese Foreign Ministry² spokesperson Lu Kang said earlier on Wednesday that China expects the Trump-Kim summit will go smoothly³ with positive outcomes.

 

"We have always been encouraging and supporting the U.S. and the DPRK to accumulate mutual⁴ trust through direct dialogue," he said. "We hope that all the relevant sides, particularly the DPRK and the U.S., will seize the opportunity, meet each other halfway⁵, suppress interference and address each other's concerns in a balanced way."
