U.S. President Donald Trump says he won't meet Kim Jong Un again, until after the November elections.

Before he took off for a Tuesday (October 10) night rally, he told reporters, 'It'll be after the midterms. I just can't leave now.'

Trump had revealed plans were being made for a second summit earlier in the day.

He was also upbeat on progress so far.

He said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had very good talks with Kim over the weekend during a trip to Pyongyang.

And Trump says three or four locations were in the running Kim's next meeting.

He said he thinks Kim would like Mar-a-Lago, but he wasn't clear as to whether a U.S. venue was really on the cards.

I think eventually we're going to have lots of meetings on U.S. soil and on their soil, by the way.

You know, that's a two-way street; on their soil also." Pompeo echoed Trump's positive outlook during an afternoon visit to the White House.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE MIKE POMPEO, SAYING: "While there's still a long way to go and much work to do, we can now see a path where we will achieve ultimate goal, which is the full and final verified denuclearization of North Korea." After he met Kim on Sunday (October 7), Pompeo revealed the Supreme Leader was ready to allow international inspectors into two key weapons testing sites as soon as the two sides agree on the process.

However experts have questioned what Pompeo achieved on his fourth visit to Pyongyang in less than year.

They say the North Korean leader appears to simply be repacking and dragging out past pledges.
