The adults are regaining control of the room.   An update:

White House puts an asterisk on Trump, Kim Jong Un meeting

But Sanders on Friday repeatedly claimed that North Korea had "promised" to denuclearize and said Pyongyang would need to take "concrete and verifiable actions" towards that aim for Trump and Kim to meet.
"The President will not have the meeting without have concrete steps or seeing concrete actions taken by North Korea," she said. Sanders' comments appeared to realign the White House's position with the one senior administration officials had laid out in the days before Trump stunned the world by agreeing to meet face-to-face with Kim.

I wonder if we'll soon be hearing each side accuse the other of sabotaging the talks by setting new conditions?

If Kim assents to the pre-conditions, that will indeed be newsworthy. And if Kim agrees, it will mean an agreement with the US and the international community is more important than saving face.
