Location, Date Set For Meeting With Kin Jong Un: Trump  

Washington (May 04, 2018): United States President Donald Trump on Friday said the date and location have been set for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, building suspense for the unprecedented talks.

The White House has said the first meeting between US and North Korean leaders could take place in the coming weeks. Trump is to push North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons.The demilitarized zone, or DMZ, between North and South Korea, and Singapore are among the top choices being considered for the summit. Trump this week expressed a preference for the DMZ but also said Singapore was possible.

The Peace House at the DMZ was the venue for a meeting last month between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in.

The White House announced that Trump will host South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House on May 22, in talks aimed at demonstrating allied unity before the Trump-Kim summit.The Moon visit was announced after Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, met with his South Korean counterpart, Chung Eui-yong, at the White House on Friday.

Chung told reporters afterward that it was “unacceptable that the issue of the US Forces Korea keeps being raised.”

“Now, I have to tell you, at some point into the future, I would like to save the money,” Trump told reporters. “But troops are not on the table.”
