- According to reports from both the Korea Herald and Reuters, Singapore might be hosting another Trump-Kim summit.
- Vietnam has been shortlisted along with Singapore as another possible location for the leaders' next meeting.

Singapore might once again find itself host of a Trump-Kim summit, according to reports from both the Korea Herald and Reuters.
South Korea's Foreign Affairs Ministry officials revealed that the republic could be shortlisted as a potential location for the leaders' second meeting, according to the Korea Herald.
Alongside Singapore, Vietnam was also highlighted as a possible option for another summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump.
The summit is scheduled to take place soon, according to a Reuters report quoting South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
South Korea had initially hoped that Panmunjom — a truce village in the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas and site of Kim and Moon's historic summit in April — would host the Trump-Kim meeting, but the probability of this was "slim," the Korea Herald quoted a ministry official as saying.

"(The venues you should pay attention to) are those mentioned by media, including Vietnam, Singapore and Hawaii," an official told the Korea Herald.
However, according to another official quoted in the report, Hawaii was an "unrealistic location" due to the lack of a North Korean embassy.
This leaves Singapore and Vietnam, both of which have North Korean embassies, as prime candidates to play host.

These countries are also within flying distance of Kim's plane, the Chammae-1 — a Soviet-era aircraft which can only fly a maximum distance of 7,000 kilometers.
