President Donald Trump said Saturday that he hopes to meet with North Korean despot Kim Jong Un in early 2019 for a second one-on-one summit, perhaps as soon as next month.
Trump told reporters traveling home to Washington with him aboard Air Force One from Argentina that 'three sites' were in consideration for the meeting, a follow-up to their historic June summit in Singapore.
Asked about a future meeting, Trump said: 'I think we're going to do one fairly [soon] – you know, into January, February, I think. We're getting along very well. We have a good relationship.'
'Don’t forget, we’ve been doing that for what – six, seven months? Not a long time. People have been working on that one for 80 years, right?' he said.

Kim (right) has shown some signs of willingness to allow international inspectors into his hermit nation's nuclear sites, but doesn't appear ready to denuclearize entirely
Trump had been in Buenos Aires for the G20 summit.
The president also said he is working 'very strongly on North Korea' with President Xi Jinping of China.
'He is agreeing to work with me 100 percent on North Korea, and that’s a big thing,' Trump said.
When asked Saturday if he would ever host Kim in the United States, Trump replied: 'At some point, yeah.'
Trump and Kim opened up dialogue in June about denuclearization of the Korean peninsula after months of trading military threats and pointed barbs.
Trump and Kim met in June for a Singapore summit, laying the groundwork for resolving a process that past administrations have found futile
The two leaders signed a vaguely worded document on denuclearization of the peninsula, but progress since has stalled as Washington and Pyongyang sparred and North Korea has taken few concrete steps to abandon its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo was due to meet with a top North Korean official in early November, but the meeting was abruptly called off when North Korea insisted that Washington ease sanctions.
On Friday, Trump discussed the situation with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
The pair 'reaffirmed their commitment to achieve the final, fully verified denuclearization' of North Korea, Trump's spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.
Trump said Saturday aboard Air Force One that he wants to hold a second summit with Kim in early 2019
They agreed on the need for 'maintaining vigorous enforcement of existing sanctions to ensure the DPRK understands that denuclearization is the only path,' Sanders said, using the North's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
But differences have emerged between Washington and Seoul on how to proceed with Kim, as the dovish Moon has long favored engagement with the North.
Still, Kim reportedly is willing to allow inspectors into his country's main nuclear complex.
A senior diplomatic source said last week that the dictator told Moon Jae-in at their summit in September that he's open to the idea.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
