"I will be meeting with Kim Jong Un in the coming weeks, we look forward to that," Mr. Trump said during a news conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "We're down to two countries as to a site, and we'll let you know what that site is."
Mr. Trump declined to say whether he has met with Kim directly. But he did say they have a "good working relationship."
"I don't want to comment on that but we have a very good working relationship," Mr. Trump said. "We're setting up a meeting. Things have changed very radically from a few months ago. You know the name calling and a lot of other things.

Exactly why it should be held there. Then weed out the whiners afterwards.
Trump could reprise John Wayne’s role as Genghis Khan in the movie The Conqueror. Arguably Wayne’s worst performance ever but Trump has the nads to pull it off.
I doubt the Norks have the aviation capacity to safely reach Diego Garcia.
>> Mongolia would be a good choice <<
Yeah, sure, like they wouldn’t know how to bug all the hotel rooms of the US delegation, plus bug the meeting room.
>> Guam would be better <<
