President Donald Trump has received a request from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for a follow-up to their historic June summit, and planning is in motion to make it happen.
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that no details had been finalized.
Trump had told reporters last week that he was expecting a letter from Kim. Sanders said Trump has received the letter, which she described as 'very warm, very positive'.

The White House will not release the full letter unless Kim agrees it should be made public, she said.
'The primary purpose of the letter was to request and look to schedule another meeting with the president, which we are open to and are already in the process of coordinating that,' Sanders said at her first press briefing in nearly three weeks.
She cited the letter as 'further evidence of progress' in relations between the leaders.
Relations between Trump and Kim have seemed to ebb and flow since Trump became the first sitting US president to meet a North Korean leader.
Their historic, one-day summit in June in Singapore was held to discuss denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula, and Trump emerged from their talks full of praise for the authoritarian Kim.
Trump recently called off a planned visit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to North Korea, citing lack of progress toward eliminating its nuclear arsenal.
In recent days, North and South Korean officials have come together to discuss their own summit that has been scheduled for next week

But on Sunday, the president offered fresh praise for Kim following a North Korean military parade that, unlike past parades, downplayed the missiles and nuclear weapons that brought North Korea to the brink of military conflict with the US just a year ago.
'This is a big and very positive statement from North Korea,' Trump tweeted Sunday about the parade.
'Thank you To Chairman Kim. We will both prove everyone wrong! There is nothing like good dialogue from two people that like each other! Much better than before I took office.'
Sanders also cited the parade in her comments Monday.
'The recent parade in North Korea, for once, was not about their nuclear arsenal,' she said, characterizing the event as 'a sign of good faith.'
Trump, she said, had achieved 'tremendous success' with his policies so far toward North Korea 'and this letter was further evidence of progress in that relationship'.
Sanders cited this year's return of Americans who had been detained in North Korea, along with North Korea's decision to repatriate scores of human remains believed to be those of American troops who went missing during the Korean War.
Trump also cited the fact that North Korea has not tested a ballistic missile or nuclear material in many months.
But although North Korea has destroyed at least parts of its nuclear test site, and says it has dismantled a missile engine test site, it has yet to declare the contents of its atomic arsenal or take concrete steps to end its weapons program.
Last month, the UN atomic watchdog said it had 'grave concern' about the continuation and development of North Korea's nuclear program.

Trump had told...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
