Will Kim Jong-un meet the head of government from any G7 nation in-person before 15 June 2018?

This question was generated from the IARPA Global Forecasting Challenge.

The first face-to-face meeting between American and North Korean leaders is set for June 12th (and perhaps June 13th!) on Singapore's Sentosa Island. Months of brinksmanship between the US and the hermit kingdom have placed the historic gathering in and out of play, as "open hostility," John Bolton's invocation of the "Libya model" of denuclearization, and now Rudy Giuliani's "hands and knees" comment all complicate an already highly delicate political moment.

The question is aimed at Donald Trump's scheduled meeting with Kim Jong-un, but technically would be resolved positively if the North Korean leader meets with a head of government from any G7 nation before the 15th.

Metaculus help: Predicting

Predictions are the heart of Metaculus. Predicting is how you contribute to the wisdom of the crowd, and how you earn points and build up your personal Metaculus track record.

The basics of predicting are very simple: move the slider to best match the likelihood of the outcome, and click predict. You can predict as often as you want, and you're encouraged to change your mind when new information becomes available. With tachyons you'll even be able to go back in time and backdate your prediction to maximize your points.

The displayed score is split into current points and total points. Current points show how much your prediction is worth now, whereas total points show the combined worth of all of your predictions over the lifetime of the question. The scoring details are available on the FAQ.

Note: this question resolved before its original close time. All of your predictions came after the resolution, so you did not gain (or lose) any points for it.

Community Stats

Metaculus help: Community Stats

Use the community stats to get a better sense of the community consensus (or lack thereof) for this question. Sometimes people have wildly different ideas about the likely outcomes, and sometimes people are in close agreement. There are even times when the community seems very certain of uncertainty, like when everyone agrees that event is only 50% likely to happen.

When you make a prediction, check the community stats to see where you land. If your prediction is an outlier, might there be something you're overlooking that others have seen? Or do you have special insight that others are lacking? Either way, it might be a good idea to join the discussion in the comments.
