美朝官員爲可能舉行的“川金會”進行磋商

U.S. and North Korean officials met again Monday at the demilitarized zone to talk about a possible summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jung Un.

After calling off the talks Thursday, Trump said the June 12 summit in Singapore may very well take place as scheduled.

"I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial nation one day," Trump said Sunday on Twitter. "Kim Jong Un agrees with me on this. It will happen."

After a surprise meeting Saturday between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, the Seoul leader said Kim is still committed to the "complete denuclearization" of the Korean peninsula, but he declined to define the phrase, suggesting that difficult negotiations lie ahead between the U.S. and North Korea.

The U.S. has called for "complete, verifiable and irreversible" dismantling of the Pyongyang's nuclear arsenal, but North Korea has rejected unilateral disarmament and called for denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Some U.S. officials remain skeptical that the U.S.-North Korean talks would lead to the end of the North's nuclear program.美國與朝鮮官員週一在非軍事區再次會面，商討美國總統川普與朝鮮領導人金正恩可能舉行峯會的相關事宜。

川普總統上週四宣佈峯會取消，但隨即在週五表示原定6月12日在新加坡舉行的峯會仍有可能如期舉行。

川普總統週日在推特上發文說：“我真的相信朝鮮有着巨大的潛力，有朝一日能夠成爲一個經貿與金融大國。金正恩在這一點上與我有共識。那一天會到來的。”

金正恩週六出人預料地與韓國總統文在寅會面後，文在寅表示金正恩仍然承諾朝鮮半島“完全無核化”，但他拒絕明確這個詞的具體含義，暗示了美國與朝鮮之間可能面臨的艱難磋商。

美國呼籲“完全、可覈實以及不可逆轉地”拆除平壤的核武庫，但朝鮮已經拒絕單邊去核並且呼籲整個朝鮮半島實現無核化。

一些美國官員對於美朝會談能否使朝鮮終止其核項目保持懷疑。
