Various locations being considered for possible U.S.-North Korea summit
  • 6 years ago
I hear that there are other regions also being considered for the summit.
Can you tell us more about what other reports say?

Well, first of all, Bloomberg thinks a wider range of options is on the table.
President Trump is known to dislike long and tiresome trips.
The same goes for Kim Jong-un,... who could be limited by the type of transportation he can use.
An important factor would he,... how far he's willing to travel by plane or by train.
If you look at the map I prepared,... Bloomberg listed nine potential locations.

If Kim Jong-un doesn't wish to fly to a distant destination,... Ulaanbaatar would be a likely spot for the summit,... which is why Bloomberg has named the Mongolian city as a possible location.
Mongolia borders Russia and China while having diplomatic ties with both the U.S. and North Korea.

Choosing the right location is difficult, especially as the two nations don't share diplomatic relations.
That is why Bloomberg also named Sweden, Poland, and Thailand as potential spots-- because they're among the few countries that host North Korean embassies.
