CNN "북미정상회담 이틀 열릴 가능성…회담연장 대비 비상계획"<br /><br /> We start with the latest on the summit of the century.<br />The list of U.S. officials flying with their commander-in-chief to Singapore for that historic event is more or less complete.<br />And even before the maiden Pyongyang-Washington summit took place..., already, there are reports of preparations for a follow-up meeting between the two leaders. <br />Lee Ji-won has our top story. <br />U.S. President Donald Trump has hinted that his June 12th summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un may not finish in one sitting. <br />That sentiment seems to be backed up by preparations being made for a second day of talks. <br /> CNN reported Thursday, citing two sources familiar with the matter,... that U.S. officials have "laid the groundwork" for a second day of meetings,... if the two leaders decide to continue their talks. <br /> The news network added that a White House spokesman declined to comment on the matter.<br /><br />There's also been reports on the possibility of a second summit. <br />Citing a U.S. official, Bloomberg reports that "Trump is toying with the idea of offering Kim a follow-up summit at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida." <br />It said the second summit could even happen in the fall, depending on how the two leaders hit it off at their meeting in Singapore. <br /> President Trump had invited other global counterparts to his Mar-a-Lago resort, including Chinese President Xi Jinping and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, for a retreat-like summit. <br /><br />Meanwhile, Bloomberg also reported on the list of U.S. officials who will be joining President Trump on Air Force One to Singapore. <br /> The list includes Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, White House Chief of Staff John Kelly,... and even National Security Adviser John Bolton. <br />Bolton, the administration's main hardliner on Pyongyang, was the main reason for North Korea's hostility and harsh rhetoric a few weeks ago, even prompting the regime to question whether to hold the summit. <br /> Bloomberg said the delegation also tentatively includes the head of CIA's Korea Mission Center, Andrew Kim; National Security Council official, Allison Hooker; and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Joe Hagin. <br />Hooker and Hagin were part of the two teams that have been negotiating with the North at the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom and in Singapore for the past few days. <br /> Bolton's inclusion comes as officials at the State Department believe he controversially suggested North Korea's denuclearization should follow "the Libya model" to disrupt talks with the regime. <br />Citing multiple sources,... CNN reports that Bolton intentionally angered the North to quote 'blow up' the summit because he feared the meeting would not end up working in Washington's favor.<br /> Those remarks reportedly led to "considerable tension" between Bolton and Pompeo.<br />However,... the National Security Council denies there was any confrontation between the two officials at the heart of Trump's inner circle. <br />Lee Ji-won, Ariran
