ITS HAPPENING!
“If I’m not willing to (denuclearize) wouldn’t be here right now,” replies Kim Jong Un to a reporter’s question.
'''Asked would he take concrete steps?
Kim said: “That’s what we’re talking about now.”'''

Asked if he's willing to let US have a diplomatic office in North Korea, Kim Jong Un said his translator, "I think that is something that is welcomable."
@POTUS
said he thinks it's a good idea - both ways. Kim asked press to give them more time. "Even 1 min is precious to us."
I'm really glad Mulvaney is there.
Same.
Hey press team, the press has a request. They promise their best behavior.

Well, I don't think any of us in today's White House travel pool thought we'd be shouting Qs at Kim Jong Un during summit and getting answers…. but it's happened. If
@realdonaldtrump
would like to make it a joint news conference later today we have more Qs.

I know people are mad at this but I think it's because Barr told Mueller for wrap it the fuck up and his report is ready to go. If he started over again with Cohen it would be another 3 years of Investigation. SDNY can still continue to investigate any crimes he may have committed.
Lunch is set for POTUS and Kim.
From Hanoi.
