After the long-anticipated inter-Korean summit,... all eyes will turn to the possible North Korea-U.S. summit.<br />The discussions on the time and place of the meeting are still in progress.<br />However, it's been reported that the two leaders are unlikely to visit each other's countries,... meaning Pyongyang, Washington, and also Panmunjom are pretty much excluded from the list.<br />For more, let's talk to our Park Hee-jun who has joined me in the studio.<br />Good Afternoon Hee-jun.<br /><br /> Hi, Mark.<br /><br /> So Hee-jun, we still don’t know when or where the summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump is going to take place?<br /><br /> No, not yet. U.S. President Trump did say on April 17th,... that five locations are being considered for the summit between the United States and North Korea.<br />And that meeting could take place in "early June or before."<br />He didn't specify where those five locations are,... but numerous reports have been pointing to a handful of places.<br /><br /> Recently, the Wall Street Journal-- citing high-level officials-- reported that the summit is being planned for mid-June at a politically neutral site.<br /> It said China and Japan appear to have been eliminated as possible sites for the summit,... because China is a predominant backer of the North Korean economy,... while Japan is with the United States in seeking the regime's denuclearization. <br /> Instead, locations in Europe, such as Geneva,... or in Southeast Asia, such as Singapore, were suggested as possible summit sites. <br />Geneva is in the neutral nation of Switzerland,... and it has hosted many diplomatic meetings in the past-- while Singapore has diplomatic ties with both nations.<br />Bloomberg and NBC have also mentioned Switzerland as a potential location.<br />
