Blue House says that the US government is sympathetic to what you just heard, but there has been no official response yet. There are many prospects that it is unlikely at this time, but the situation will depend on how much it can affect President Trump's reelection.

The White House has not yet responded to President Moon Jae-in's comment that the North American summit is needed before the presidential election.

There are many analysts in the United States as of now that it is unlikely that President Moon's initiative will become a reality.

Two days ago, US State Department special secretary for North Korea, who oversees the US negotiations with North Korea, said at a video event that the North Korean summit would be difficult.

[Steven Vegan/Deputy Representative for the US Department of State: Until the US presidential election, it will be difficult to hold the North American summit. The situation seems so bad to hold that kind of meeting.]

Apparently, I heard it for reasons of Corona19, but it is a reaffirmation that the United States has reaffirmed its existing position to proceed to the summit based on practical negotiations.

What's more, the general analysis is that President Trump has no room to worry about negotiating with North Korea, as the Corona 19 in the United States continues to boom, and the economic crisis continues and the approval rating declines four months before the presidential election.

However, in view of President Trump's unpredictable tendency, there is also a prospect that the situation may change at any time if there is a high possibility that the 3rd North American summit will help ensure re-election.
