A quick setup is underway for the hastily moved-up press conference, says Steve Herman, the White House bureau chief for Voice of America news.
That press conference was meant to start at 3:50pm local time, but is now scheduled to begin at 2pm (in about 40 minutes).

Whelp. There's the problem right there.
President Trump’s denuclearization summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was being cut short Thursday and a planned signing ceremony was in doubt on the second day of talks.
A planned luncheon between the two leaders also was apparently scrapped. Instead, Mr. Trump’s motorcade was preparing to leave the hotel where the summit was taking place.
Mr. Trump had been lowering expectations for the second round of talks, cautioning the media that he was in “no rush” to get a comprehensive agreement as long as Mr. Kim continued to honor his pledge not to conduct any more missile tests.
The president repeated his cautions earlier Thursday, saying, “No matter what happens we’ll ultimately have a deal that’s really good for Chairman Kim and his country.”
Yes, he has done more than any President since the Korean War to foster peaceful relations.

By giving a Kim some sort of prestige on the world stage? Against the counsel of ... everybody?
South Korea on Saturday welcomed a planned second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying it hoped the meeting would be a “turning point” for peace on the Korean peninsula.
“We expect the planned North-US summit would be a turning point in establishing a permanent peace regimen on the Korean peninsula,” said Kim Eui-kyeom, South Korean President Moon Jae-in’s spokesman.
He doesn't give a crap about other countries. (And when I say "he" I mean both of them.)
A dictator of a country dosn't gain prestige or validation by other countries attempting negotiations.
I'm not a diplomat or do I have access to the intelligence assets of the United States so I pay attention to those who do. Trump is not, and does not.
Unless you have some insight on how to negotiate with NK without involving the Dictator?
