Trump to meet Kim Jong Un in 'couple of days'

“We want to get peace,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “We're setting up meetings right now and I think it's probably going to be announced over the next couple of days — location and date.”

A number of locations are reportedly under consideration, but Trump has said he would like the meeting to take place in the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea.

“There's something that I thought was intriguing. I think that some people maybe don't like the look of that and some people like it very much. I threw it out today as an idea,” Trump said of the site on Monday.

Staging the talks at the demilitarized zone would hold symbolic value. Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in recently concluded historic talks there over denuclearization and formally ending the Korean War.
