Donald Trump en de Noord-Koreaanse leider Kim Jong-un ontmoeten op 12 juni in Singapore, meldt de Amerikaanse president op Twitter. 'We zullen allebei proberen er een erg speciaal moment van te maken voor wereldvrede', tweet hij.
Noord-Korea liet gisteren drie Amerikaanse gevangenen vrij, bleek uit een tweet die Trump gisteren plaatste. Amerika-correspondent Jan Postma noemt het een grote stap, als opstap naar de vandaag bekendgemaakte topontmoeting in Singapore. 'Noord-Korea laat op dit punt in de ontmoeting met Trump zien serieus te zijn. Van beloftes kun je terugkomen, mensen vrijlaten kan maar één keer.'
