White House planning second Trump-Kim summit

Source: The Hill

The White House said Monday that planning is underway for a second meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong Un after the North Korean leader sent Trump a letter requesting another summit.

During a briefing with reporters, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the request was the "primary purpose" of Kim's letter and a second meeting is "certainly something we want to take place."

She added that the White House is "already in the process of coordinating that."

Sanders provided no details about the time or place of a second meeting, saying discussions are still taking place.

We could re-schedule Trump's military parade to run concurrently.

or the equipment to extract them.

I would bet my shirt on that... Putin, China and the US helping NK to extract, and taking a good share for themselves.
