Trump may offer to host Kim Jong Un at Mar-a-Lago for second summit: report

BY LUIS SANCHEZ - 06/06/18 08:46 AM EDT

President Trump is considering offering to host North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for a follow-up summit if necessary following their scheduled summit in Singapore in June, Bloomberg reported.

The Florida summit, which could reportedly be offered in the fall, would likely only happen if both leaders get along well, according to Bloomberg reports.

Trump and Kim will meet in Singapore on June 12 at the Capella Hotel for a summit to discuss North Korea’s nuclear capabilities.

The White House has yet to announce an official schedule other than saying the two leaders will meet at 9 a.m. on June 12 and, if the meeting goes well, further events are expected for later in the day and possibly the day after.

Trump has been advised not to concede anything to Kim in an effort to put pressure on North Korea to make the summit a success, Bloomberg reports.

He will have to ask for H2B visas to get new staff, right?

With Trump's way of thinking, $9K should be fair for Mar-a-Lago.

Does Kim play golf? That would add a bit more for a cart.

Dang, this my kinda game! DT

They would all need accommodations and food.
That doesn’t even begin to factor in the additional secret service agents that would be required.
The mind boggles.

I am convinced that Mara Loco has direct feeds to Putin. That would explain all his bullshit there when first taking office.

And his plane is not trustworthy for longer distances.
