US President Donald Trump said he expects to hold a second summit with North Korea Leader Kim Jong-un as soon as next month and that three locations are being considered.
“I think we’re going to do one, fairly, into January, February,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from the Group of 20 summit in Argentina. “We’re getting along very well. We have a good relationship.”
He didn’t specify which sites were under consideration, saying they hadn’t been determined yet.
Trump also said that “at some point” he would invite Kim to visit the US, though he gave no indication of when. Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who threw his support behind further meetings between Trump and Kim.
Trump and Kim met in June in a historic summit in Singapore aimed at curbing Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. Yet progress in further steps towards complete denuclearisation of North Korea has been a struggle.
Last month, a planned meeting between US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and North Korean official Kim Yong Chol to discuss details of a potential second summit was called off. The postponement stirred concerns that nuclear talks between the US and North Korea had again bogged down, as Kim’s regime seeks sanctions relief before taking key disarmament steps.
Kim isn’t necessarily seeking sanctions relief before taking key disarmament steps, South Korean President Moon Jae-in told reporters following his meeting with Trump in Buenos Aires. The second US-North Korea summit should have more details on when the two countries would implement the agreement they made in their first summit in Singapore, Moon added.
