U.S. President Donald Trump has also confirmed that he's ready to hold a second summit with North Korea's leader within the next few months.... perhaps signaling a new start in the two sides' nuclear negotiations... that have stalled in recent months.
Our Park Hee-jun reports.
U.S. President Donald Trump has reaffirmed that his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un will probably take place early next year.
Speaking to reporters on his return trip from the G20 summit in Argentina,... Trump said he expects the meeting to happen in January or February.

He also said three locations are being considered for the summit,... adding it will be held (quote) "within plane distance."
Although he did not elaborate on whose plane he was referring to,... it raises speculation the next Kim-Trump summit will again take place in Asia.
Asked whether Kim would visit the U.S., President Trump only said he will "at some point."
Kim Jong-un's private jet is only capable of flying to Asian countries that are not so far from the North.
The remarks bring countries such as Vietnam, Mongolia, or Indonesia under the spotlight,... as all three have North Korean embassies.

President Trump's comments are seen as a positive sign amid a stall in the denuclearization talks between Pyeongyang and Washington.
Watchers say it reflects the Trump administration's unwavering commitment to maintaining dialogue with the North.
The South Korean government has also taken the wheel in finding a way to restart the two sides' negotiations,... as seen through the Moon-Trump summit last week.
Where working-level negotiations failed,... top-down negotiations are now adding momentum to North Korea diplomacy.
Now it's up to the North Korean leader to make a decision.
There's a short period of time until the proposed date for the next North Korea-U.S. summit,... and experts say only Kim Jong-un's will can make it happen.
