President Donald Trump says possible locations for a summit between the U.S. and North Korea have been narrowed down to two countries. 

U.S. news organizations speculate the two contenders are Singapore and Mongolia. 

In a press conference with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the White House on Friday, Trump said Washington is setting up meetings now and that he thinks "some very good things can happen with respect to North Korea." 

The remarks came hours after Kim became the first North Korean leader to step foot on South Korean territory for an inter-Korean summit held on the southern side of the Military Demarcation Line between the two Koreas. 

While congratulating the leaders of the South and North for a historic summit, Trump said the maximum pressure campaign will continue until denuclearization occurs.
