ABC News Online: Donald Trump says 'substantial chance' summit with North Korea's Kim Jong-un may be delayed
US President Donald Trump says there is a "substantial chance" his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will not take place as planned on June 12 amid concerns that Mr Kim is not committed to denuclearisation.
Mr Trump raised doubts about the Singapore summit in talks with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who came to Washington to urge Mr Trump not to let a rare opportunity with reclusive North Korea get away.
