"I don't think anybody really believes that North Korea is prepared to denuclearise", Senator Jeff Flake of Arizona, a Republican critic of Trump, said on NBC's Meet The Press.

But some members of Congress said they worry that Trump acted impulsively in agreeing to meet with Kim, before negotiators for both countries had a chance to set some goals the leaders could agree to.

About 27.4 percent of the total respondents said they trust the North's denuclearization commitment and welcome its peace overtures, while 18.4 percent said they neither trust the North nor welcome the recent developments.

China, North Korea's main ally, has encouraged dialogue over Pyongyang's nuclear program, and its state media on Saturday credited Beijing for helping ease tensions.

Fears over Trump's lack of diplomatic abilities and of an ultimate failure of the proposed talks might be well-founded, as the US President has repeatedly engaged in bitter word spats with North Korea's leader over the past year. It is likely, therefore, that Pyongyang will use the lull in tensions to continue to develop its nuclear weapon and missile programmes in secret or push for concessions on United Nations sanctions. But it's also true that the North Korean regime has a long, distinguished history of strategically outmaneuvering America. The official also said there are no plans to suspend the upcoming planned military exercises with South Korea.

Mr Trump's acceptance of Mr Kim's invitation to a summit meeting marks a diplomatic victory for Mr Moon.
