Trump Says Date, Location Set for Summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un

Source: Wall Street Journal

President Trump said Thursday that he has reached an agreement with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on the time and place of their next summit.

Mr. Trump didn’t provide those details, but said the announcement would be coming soon.

He reiterated that the meeting would take place at the end of February. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Fox News on Wednesday that he was sending a team to prepare for the next summit, which he said “will be some place in Asia.”

Vietnam has emerged as a strong contender, according to people familiar with the talks

No wonder all these nations want to have a nuclear weapons.
Do you think Trump would be treating Nicolas Maduro this way if he had a nukes?

Nothing came out of their first expensive summit. Other than to give Un a celebrity adulation on the world stage. I can see why Un would want a repeat of that. But why Trump?

Is it a kind of stubbornness that he wants to rewrite the ending in his favor this time?

Or, as I suspect, he wants to sit in a room, with a friendly interpreter, in private, in a meeting that will remain secret. A meeting in which he will offer an end to sanctions if Un will go into partnership with the Trump family on a yuuuuuuuge beach front resort and golf course...the likes the world has never seen! This is I think what he wanted all along with that last poorly produced video he showed him last time. But this time, he will speak in private, to try and iron out a deal which was purely about making money for each of them. Trump will also present it as an opportunity to be seen as opening up his country to investments and respect from the international capitalist oligarchs. Forget about the kind of respect associated with freeing political prisoners, or curbing human rights abuse, or opening up press freedoms etc....Trump has no beef with that, its all about how much $ he can make out of the deal.

his puppetmaster Putin will be on site or there is a "special" phone that our treasonous con can use while in whatever place. This smells funny, and not "haha" funny.
