The announcement follows the release of three American prisoners from North Korea, in what the White House calls a “gesture of goodwill.” After welcoming the three men home, Trump told the press that the U.S. and North Korea are “starting off on a new footing.”
“I think this will be a very big success. It’s never been taken this far, there’s never been a relationship like this. Some great things can happen, and that’s what we hope,” he added.
Trump will be the first sitting U.S. president to meet with a North Korean leader.
