President Donald Trump said Friday after receiving a delegation of North Korean officials that he would attend a June 12 summit that he hopes will result in a nuclear non-proliferation accord with the hermit nation.
The officials came to Washington, after spending several days in New York, to hand-deliver a letter from Kim Jong-un to the U.S. president as the two sides worked to come to an agreement on the broad strokes of the deal they intend to hammer out next week, and possibly after that, during formal talks.
'This was a letter presentation that ended up being a two-hour conversation,' Trump told reporters on the South Lawn following the Oval Office meeting with North Korea's Kim Yong Chol, Kim Jong-un's second in command.

WNU Editor: No leaks yet to the media on what was specifically discussed in the Oval Office .... and there is a part of me who believes that we will not know what happened in that meeting for a very long time.

The letter itself is not that big. It is the envelope that is big. While my visual impairment means I often miss things, the envelope appears to be about the same size as letter sized pwper that isn't folded up.
This kind of reminds of me of the big "check" that people hold up when they win a contest. Obviously the person doesn't take this big "check" to the bank. The big "check" is a symbol. The real check is normal sized or os a direct deposit to the person"s bank account.
I also noticed Donald Trump has the kind of smile a the winner of a contest has when he was the underdog going in knowing he's won and trying to convey this but not wanting to humiliate his opponent. In contrast, the North Korean official is frowning in such a manner to suggest "can we please get this over with!??!"
