The US says its discussions with North Korea are moving "more quickly than expected" ahead of the summit in Singapore on Tuesday.
The preliminary talks between officials have been taking place ahead of the unprecedented first meeting.
The White House also confirms that President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will hold a one-on-one meeting, with only translators present.
The outcome may determine the fate of North Korea's nuclear programme.
The US insists it will accept nothing less than complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
North Korea has said it is willing to commit to denuclearisation, but that term is open to interpretation.
It is also unclear what concessions Pyongyang could demand in return - which makes the summit very hard to predict, according to analysts....

sour grapes
Love this picture, Onyx!
Do you remember her name?
There are 2 NK women at the working lunch.
I think has two sisters in case one of them needs to be assassinated.
Kim Yo Jong will be at the lunch.
“
Kwwp your friends close, and your sisters closer. But not too close...”
I love the pic. It’s almost like Trump saying to Kim...
“Hey, have you ever been to South Beach? I can fly in some Cuban cigars and a couple cases of Havana Club rum. I’d love to introduce you to some Brazilian super-models. They’re friends of mine. I think their names are Scheila and Ana - or something like that. Hey, you can come up and hang out at Mar-a-Lago for a few days too. Whadda ya say?”
was going to the lunch but I had the potatoes dauphinois and the ice cream with cherry coulis the night before.
I had to Google several of the menu items.
Reminds me of movie Josey Wales. When 10 Bears Indian chief gives this long speech and in responce Kinsey says “I reckon so.”
Someone on here mentioned Trumps strategic idea of Singapore as a meeting place bc of the moderness and futuristic look of the place and how it would wow Kim and Trump could say “hey, NK could be like this one day without nukes. Singapore doesn’t have nukes and look at what they have and how it’s people live.”
They just came out...President Trump said things went much better than expected and they are on their way to a “Signing”
BOOM!
Alert!...
Trump just said there is going to be a “signing”....said things are going very very well...both just strolled up to the reporters and said they’d be announcing it in a couple m minutes....
Do understand, that the Kim regime is dynastic, and has been in power since about 1950. That family enjoys nearly godlike status in North Korea, and loyalty to them runs generations deep..
It would likely be harder to depose them than you think.
Eveybody is smiling or laughing!
