Using every moment as productively as possible,... President Moon Jae-in sat down with U.S. President Donald Trump... where the two leaders agreed on efforts to make sure that the upcoming North Korea-U.S. summit is hosted as scheduled,... and turns out to be a success.
Our Blue House correspondent Hwang Hojun reports from Washington.
Shortly before the one-on-one meeting between the leaders of South Korea and the U.S,... the American leader expressed that he isn't hung up on whether or not the Pyongyang-Washington summit will take place on June 12th.

"I don't want to waste a lot of time, and I'm sure he doesn't want to waste a lot of time. So there's a very substantial chance that it won't work out. And that's OK. That doesn't mean it won't work out over a period of time. But it may not work out for June 12th."

Trump's remarks come amid North Korea's recent threat to cancel the Singapore summit if the U.S. continues its quote "one-sided" affair of pressuring Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program.
However, President Trump said he thinks the scheduled meeting with Kim Jong-un will be a great meeting for North Korea and for the world.
He said the U.S. is continuing talks with North Korea and that it's up to the regime to seize the opportunity to become a great country,.... also telling reporters that they will know pretty soon whether or not the one-on-one with the North Korean leader will take place.
President Moon insisted there's no reason to doubt North Korea's willingness to hold a summit with the U.S,... and Washington should not merely expect failure just because talks with North Korea have failed before.

I know there are concerns about whether the recent change in North Korea's attitude will prevent the summit from happening, but I'm confident the summit will go ahead as planned.

Despite the U.S. skepticism over the North's commitment to the summit and its denuclearization, President Trump said he considers his South Korean counterpart to be extremely competent and as someone who can help the U.S. reach a deal with Pyongyang.

"How much confidence do you have for my President playing the mediator role solving this North Korea issue and the denuclearization process?"

"I have great confidence in your President. I think he’s brought a difference perspective to the talks with North Korea... And I think that his way, the way he is, really is helping us to potentially make a deal."

Soon after the private one-on-one session, President Moon's chief press secretary briefed reporters on the results of the bilateral summit, saying President Moon and President Trump agreed to cooperate to hold the Singapore summit as scheduled.

"President Moon and President Trump agreed to do their utmost so the U.S.-North Korea summit scheduled for June 12th will be held without any disruption."

Yoon even said the two Presidents discussed ways to remove possible concerns held by North Korea over its safety and security.
So it seem
