Trump, Kim Jong Un could meet again in New York City
Just weeks after President Trump met with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore, administration officials are already considering a "round two," Axios reports. The sequel summit would potentially take place in New York City in September, around the United Nations General Assembly.
Trump declared that Pyongyang was "no longer a nuclear threat" after his meeting with the North Korean leader on June 12, although Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will be making another trip to the country this week to push for denuclearization. "Since Singapore we have seen a huge gap open up between the claims made by POTUS (that the nuclear problem is essentially solved) and the reality that it is anything but," said Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass.
