The president and Kim are scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. local time, and in anticipation of the summit, Trump has started receiving daily briefings on Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile program, the White House said.
Trump called off the historic meeting last month following an escalation in rhetoric from North Korean officials. But the president then declared the summit back on after meeting at the White House with Kim Yong Chol, a close aide to Kim, on Friday.
