US intelligence officials appear to be in Pyongyang negotiating preparations for the US-North Korea summit, according to a Japanese media report.



Washington is currently arranging a summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. The meeting, if successfully arranged, is expected to take place by early June, about a month after the inter-Korean summit, which is set for Friday.



According to Japan’s Asahi Shimbun, a number of US officials who appear to be associated with the CIA have been in Pyongyang since CIA Director Mike Pompeo’s visit earlier this month.
