The day before, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that the delegation from the US administration would go to Singapore, where President Donald Trump was expected to meet Kim Jong-un.

The statement was made two days after the White House released Trump's letter informing Kim that the US leader was canceling their meeting in Singapore. However, the following day, the US president indicated that he might yet meet the North Korean leader as scheduled or postpone the summit.
