WASHINGTON: A White House team will leave as scheduled for Singapore this weekend to prepare for a possible summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a White House spokeswoman said on Saturday (May 26).
Politico magazine reported earlier that an advance team of 30 White House and State Department officials were preparing to depart later this weekend.

Pyongyang later described this decision as "extremely regrettable".
On Friday, Trump said that the US was having "productive talks" about reinstating a Jun 12 summit in Singapore.
