US and South Korean officials say chances of a Trump-Kim meeting this year are fading

US and South Korean officials see little chance of a meeting between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year, according to five people with knowledge of the situation. The US has received no response from North Korea on holding a meeting, and little time remains before a regional summit in China next month. Trump has downplayed prospects, saying he is not sure anyone is asking for a meeting.
