Trump Says US-North Korea Negotiates Location of Second Summit - President Donald Trump said negotiations were underway in determining the location for the second meeting between himself and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. Trump and Kim met at the first two countries' summit in Singapore in June last year.
Last week, Trump claimed to have received a "great letter" from Kim. He refused to disclose the contents of the letter.
"We are negotiating a location," Trump told the media before taking a helicopter to Camp David, Maryland. There, Trump claimed to want to discuss trade matters with China.
"Maybe it will be announced soon from now on," he continued, referring to the planned second summit with Kim. "They really want to meet, and we also want to meet. We'll see what it will be like."
"With North Korea, we will hold a very good dialogue," Trump said, as reported by the AFP news agency, Sunday, January 6, 2019.
Kim's latest letter comes after Pyongyang's number one person delivered a New Year's speech. In the speech, Kim said North Korea might change its nuclear-related approach if the US continued to apply economic sanctions.
Trump insists sanctions are indeed "still in full force" and will continue like that until Washington sees "very positive" results from the North Korean side.
During the Singapore Summit, Trump and Kim agreed to work together towards denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. But until now, there hasn't been any concrete results for the commitment of the two leaders.
According to Trump, the Singapore Summit was a major US diplomatic victory. "If not me, maybe there will be a war now. All of you will probably be in a big war in Asia if I am not elected president," Trump said.
