U.S. President Donald J. Trump said on Friday his summit with North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-Un is back on for next month, after extraordinary Oval Office talks with a top envoy from Pyongyang.

Trump emerged after a more than hour-long Oval Office meeting with Kim Yong-Chol — a general facing U.S. sanctions who is Kim’s right-hand man — saying that the summit will go ahead in Singapore on June 12 as originally planned.

While admitting that dealing with North Korea was “going to be a process,” Trump said he believed that process would ultimately be “successful.” He added that the letter from Kim, hand-delivered by Kim Yong Chol, was “very nice” and “very interesting” — but then said he had not opened it yet.

Nevertheless, the U.S. president had warm words for Pyongyang, saying the long discussions had touched on North Korea’s denuclearization and economic development.

Trump indicated that the campaign of “maximum pressure” was at least on hold, vowing no new sanctions while talks are ongoing.

“The relationships are building and that’s very positive,” he said.

In a move that is sure to worry U.S. allies in Japan and South Korea, Trump also said that he and his guest had discussed U.S. troop numbers on the Korean peninsula.

“We talked about almost everything. We talked about a lot. And we talked about sanctions,” he said.
