* White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed conditions to President Donald Trump's potential meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
* Sanders said that Trump would only take the meeting "on the basis that we have concrete and verifiable steps."
* Trump appeared to have accepted the invitation to meet on Thursday, according to remarks from South Korea's national security adviser.
The White House added conditions to President Donald Trump's potential meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un a day after news of the invitation was confirmed.

She repeated later in the briefing that Trump would only take the meeting "on the basis that we have concrete and verifiable steps."
