Hi guys! I'm Charlene from BBC Learning
English. It's just been announced that United

States President Trump and the North Korean
leader Kim Jong-un are going to meet face-to-face.
1

00:35
The meeting is due to happen in the
next few weeks and if it goes ahead, it will
2
35480
5680
00:41
be the first ever meeting between the leaders
of the two countries. Everybody's talking
3
41170
5580
00:46
about it, and I'm asking three questions to
find out the actual words people are saying.
4
46750
6370
00:53
Question one. Are you surprised that these
two leaders are going to meet?
5
53120
5680
01:06
Yes, definitely. I'm surprised that they've
agreed to meet.
6
66200
3300
01:09
No, I'm not surprised about that because they
are leaders, so they have to meet, like, it
7
69500
5181
01:14
has to be done, I think - I guess.
8
74681
2179
01:16
Yeah, I am quite surprised, yeah, I didn't
think it would happen.
9

4180
01:21
Where do you think the meeting should happen?
10
81040
2520
01:33
I think maybe in Europe, because it's in the
middle of these two countries.
11
93080
4840
01:37
I think it should take place somewhere neutral,
possibly in Seoul in South Korea.
12
97920
5560
01:43
Maybe on a neutral territory, maybe even UK,
yeah neutral, definitely; not the States,
13
103480
7420
01:50
and not North or even South Korea.
14
110900
3560
01:54
What do you think the outcome of this meeting
will be?
15
114460
3300
02:07
I think it's difficult to say what the outcome
will be, with the two personalities involved.
16
127300
4160
02:11
I don't think anything will be decided. Neither
of them listen - they just talk.
17
131469

02:18
Hopefully, they'll come together over the
next few years, few decades... so generally
18
138879
5501
02:24
a bit of reconciliation between the two countries.

#TrumpKim and now you can too! There's a quick recap
