Trump to try summit with Kim Jong-Un again

US President Donald Trump announced yesterday that his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un will be held in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, on February 27th and 28th of this year. “My representatives have just left North Korea after a very productive meeting and an agreed upon time and date for the second Summit with Kim Jong Un” the American president said on Twitter. He continued, “I look forward to seeing Chairman Kim & advancing the cause of peace”. In another tweet, Trump flattered his North Korean counterpart and said that “under the leadership of Kim Jong-un, North Korea will become a great economic power.” The Hanoi summit will be the first one that Kim Jong-Un and Trump have held since they last met in June of last year, in Singapore, where they agreed to work for the denuclearization of North Korea in return for Washington guaranteeing the continuity of the government in North Korea. The results of the first event was considered neutral, at best, with very little said of note, nothing really agreed, and tense post-summit chatter. Trump trailed this next summit as part of “new audacious diplomacy”, in his State of the National address this past Tuesday, saying his government has embarked on a “historic quest for peace in the Korean peninsula”.
