ABC News Has Its U.S.-North Korea Summit Coverage Plans in Place

By A.J. Katz 

Last month, the always-unpredictable President Trump canceled the U.S.-North Korea summit that was set to take place in Singapore on June 12. Eight days later, he announced the summit was back on.

ABC is sending its high-profile talent to Singapore later this week to cover Tuesday’s event, with covering beginning on Sunday June 10 on ABC and ABC News digital.

George Stephanopoulos will lead broadcast coverage from Singapore with World News Tonight anchor David Muir, chief global affairs correspondent and This Week co-anchor Martha Raddatz, chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl, White House correspondent Tara Palmeri and correspondent Karen Travers on the ground with the latest developments from the summit.

Senior White House correspondent Cecilia Vega will report from Washington on the reactions stateside, and Tom Bossert, ABC News contributor and former Homeland Security advisor to Pres. Trump, will contribute to ABC’s ongoing coverage.
