A U.S. delegation traveled to North Korea on Sunday to prepare for the possible summit, just days after Trump sent a letter to Kim announcing he was canceling the meeting, which was planned for June 12.

Trump on Friday suggested that the summit could still happen on the 12th. But a White House official told reporters that it was “unlikely” the meeting could take place that day, given the necessary preparations.
