Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday that the Florida summit could be offered in the fall, adding it would likely only happen if the two leaders get along well. Trump and Kim are set to hold a historic summit in Singapore on Tuesday. Bloomberg said that if the meeting goes well, further events are expected for later that day and possibly the following day.
White House counselor Kellyanne Conway also hinted that there could be more than one meeting between Trump and Kim, adding a nuclear deal may take more meetings and discussions.
Japanese Foreign Minister Taro Kono and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo reaffirmed that the 2 countries will demand North Korea's denuclearization in a complete, verifiable and irreversible way, while maintaining sanctions on Pyongyang.
