New York: A Fox News host has accidentally referred to the highly anticipated summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un as a meeting of "two dictators".

Fox & Friends co-host Abby Huntsman made the comment on Sunday as TV footage showed the US president landing in Singapore for a summit with Kim on Tuesday. Her guest and former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci didn't catch it.

"Regardless of what happens in that meeting, between the two dictators, what we are seeing right now, this is history," she told Scaramucci in way of a question.
