Kim, Trump to try to narrow differences

Diplomats from both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the United States continued their last-minute talks for an entire day on Monday in a bid to narrow their differences and pave the way for the historic summit between US President Donald Trump and DPRK top leader Kim Jong-un.

Trump appeared to be in a good mood for the upcoming talks. "Great to be in Singapore, excitement in the air!" he tweeted on Monday.

"We have a very interesting meeting in particular tomorrow, and I think things can work out very nicely," he told Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong after they sat down for a working lunch.
