BBC World Service - Weekend, Trump-Kim Summit Is Confirmed

President Trump says there will be a summit with Kim Jong Un after meeting senior envoy.

After meeting with a senior North Korean envoy at the White House, Donald Trump says that his summit with Kim Jong-Un will go ahead in Singapore on 12th June, a week after it was scrapped.

President Trump has offered to help rebuild the North's economy if it scraps its nuclear weapons. Kim Jong-un says he is committed to "denuclearisation" in some form but his precise demands are unclear.

Also in this hour: Italy finally has a new government almost three months after the general election in March.
