Vietnam to host 2nd DPRK-US summit
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will hold the much-anticipated second summit on Feb 27-28 in Hanoi, Vietnam. Kim Jong-un will arrive ahead of the talks on Feb 25.
Trump told press that his trip to Vietnam next week would be "very successful," anticipating his two-day meeting with Kim would "accomplish a lot."
"That doesn't mean this is going to be the last meeting, because I don't believe it will. But we have subjects to discuss which will be very fruitful," Trump said.
Kim said that he thinks of Trump in a positive way. With good faith and patience, the two countries will reach the goal step by step.
