U.S. and N. Korea in Talks for Third Summit
-------------------------------------------

South Korean President Moon Jae-in said today North Korean and U.S.
officials are holding "behind-the-scenes talks" in preparation for a
third summit between President Trump and Kim Jong-un. The two heads of
state last met in Hanoi, Vietnam, in February, but those talks fell
apart after Trump walked away without making a deal. Although U.S. and
North Korean leadership have hit a wall over the issue of sanctions
relief-which North Korea says is a necessary condition for any
denuclearization deal-Trump and Kim recently exchanged personal letters,
which appeared to indicate a commitment to renewing talks.
