- South Korean President Moon Jae-in could make a trip to Singapore for a three-way summit with his U.S. and North Korean counterparts next month, depending on the outcome of ongoing discussions between Washington and Pyongyang, a ranking government official here said Monday.

A three-way summit was originally proposed by Moon and the North Korean leader when they held their first-ever meeting at the border village of Panmunjom on April 27.

The trip, if made, will likely be made around June 12 when U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are scheduled to hold their bilateral summit, the official from Seoul's presidential office Cheong Wa Dae said.

"The discussions are just getting started, so we are still waiting to see how they come out, but depending on their outcome, the president could join President Trump and Chairman Kim in Singapore,"

I would agree...Moon has a ‘flow-chart’ and I’ll wager that it’s built into a ten to twenty-year plan.

All we should expect from the summit is a end-of-war document that all sign....some type of no nukes document...and some sign of the US lessening forces in South Korea (probably 4,000 to pull out by December).

I expect trade documents to occur over the next couple of months, and some invitation for Kim to visit the White House. If things go well, i could see just 5,000 US troops left in South Korea by 2024, and maybe half of Kim’s army dismantled.

That's what I think also.

Too many lawyers involved for anything like this to be up in the air.

The script has already been written and the show is now about to begin.

This is an effort to tie down Trump. At the same time, he wants to have another dramatic face time which would help their party carry the local government election the next day(June 13 in Korean Time.)

He is a brazen puppet of N. Korea.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in likely wants NoKo to keep their nuclear capabilities.

Weak kneed socialist.

Moon and Kim don't need an interpreter...they can talk freely. Moon is giving his press and audience the impression he's the calm mediator between Trump and Kim. At least at his speech it was obvious. And yes Moon is using this for political points as well. I think there's 'a lot' of communication between Xi and Moon which he barely touches on.

I don’t know whether this is complicated or not.

I would have agreed with you initially. Now I am unsure.

I think as much as China wants this to be about them, this might just be about Korea. Both of them.

Or else it is about China.

I am not sure, at the moment.
