President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. has “started talking to North Korea directly” at “extremely high levels,” and said a meeting with Kim Jong Un may occur in “early June or before that assuming things go well.” After meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at Mar-a-Lago, Trump added, “It’s possible things won’t go well and we won’t have the meetings and we’ll just continue to go on this very strong path we have taken.” “Very senior” U.S. officials have spoken to Kim “directly without involving a third party,” a source told Bloomberg.
