The June 12, 2018 Trump-Kim meeting is back on.
United States President Donald Trump made the announcement after receiving General Kim Yong-Chol, who is Kim Jong-un's right-hand man, at the White House for talks that lasted over an hour.
General Kim also delivered a letter to Trump, which the US president said he he has not opened it yet.
Only a week ago, Trump had cancelled the meeting, citing the "tremendous anger and open hostility" displayed by North Korea, as seen from his tweet below on May 24:

However, in a sign that the recent meeting with the North Korean delegation headed by General Kim Yong-Chol was going well, the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted:
Good working dinner with Kim Yong Chol in New York tonight. Steak, corn, and cheese on the menu. pic.twitter.com/1pu4K3oym7

This was echoed by Trump's tweet later on the same day:
Very good meetings with North Korea.

It would seem that the meal paid off after all.
