Second Trump-Kim summit to be held in Vietnam on February 27-28,2019

US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will hold a much-anticipated second summit on February 27-28,2019 in Vietnam.

Donald Trump made the announcement during his annual State of the Union address to Congress on Tuesday Feb 05,2019

It was not immediately clear in which Vietnamese city the meeting would take place. Possible locations are the capital, Hanoi, and the seaside city of Danang.

"As part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula," Trump told Congress.

"Much work remains to be done but my relationship with Kim Jong Un is a good one."

Note

Kim and Trump met for the first time in June 2018 in Singapore.

That summit produced a vaguely worded pledge on denuclearisation but progress has since stalled amid disagreements over the interpretation of their agreement.
