World / North Korea 2nd Trump-Kim Summit Set for February The location is still under consideration By Luke Roney, Newser Staff Posted Jan 18, 2019 2:51 PM CST Copied President Donald Trump, right, reaches to shake hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore last June. (AP Photo/Evan Vucci, File) President Trump will meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un next month, Reuters reports. The White House tweeted news of the planned “second summit” Friday after Trump reportedly met with North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol for an hour and a half and talked about denuclearization and another Trump-Kim meeting. The tweet said the location of the meet-up is TBD, but Vietnam and Thailand may be contenders, according to reports. The fact that the envoy ventured to Washington DC (North Korean officials typically have to stay near the UN in New York) and Trump’s willingness to meet with him are signs that the president is “eager to jump-start stalled nuclear negotiations with Pyongyang,” Politico says. Trump and Kim first met face-to-face last June in Singapore. (More North Korea stories.) Report an error
