In an interview with "Fox & Friends" set to be aired on Thursday, Trump made no guarantees that the meeting would still happen, but suggested that he was optimistic that it would move forward.

"Right now we’re looking at it, we’re talking about it. And they’re talking to us," he said. "We have certain conditions. We’ll see what happens."

"But there’s a good chance. I mean, it’d be a great thing for North Korea. If that happens, it would be a great thing for North Korea. Listen, it would be a great thing for the world, so we’ll see what happens."

The summit, set for June 12 in Singapore, would be the first time a sitting U.S. president meets with a North Korean premier.

But whether the face-to-face will actually happen was called into question last week when Pyongyang abruptly cancelled a meeting with South Korea and threatened to back out of the summit with Trump if he demanded "unilateral nuclear abandonment."

Since then, officials in the U.S. and South Korea, which has coordinated with the Trump administration ahead of the meeting, have sought to soothe concerns that the summit is in jeopardy.
