N Korea, U.S. holding behind-the-scenes talks on third summit

North Korean and US officials are holding behind-the-scenes talks to arrange a third summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the fate of the North's expanding nuclear arsenal.

Talking to reporters in Seoul, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said, Trump's and Kim's willingness to engage in dialogue has never faded and that their recent letter exchanges prove that. 

He, however, did not clarify who



were interlocutors or how close they were in setting up a third Kim-Trump summit.

The second meeting between the leaders in Hanoi collapsed in March this year without any agreement. There have been no public meetings between Washington and Pyongyang since the breakdown of the Hanoi summit. 

Donald Trump's top envoy on North Korea, Stephen Biegun, is to visit South Korea today.
