Biegun leaves for Pyongyang to fine-tune agendas for Trump-Kim meeting

By Lee Min-hyung

U.S. President Donald Trump said he will hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for two days from Feb. 27 in Vietnam to inject fresh momentum into their countries' stalled nuclear negotiations.

"Chairman Kim and I will meet again on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam," Trump said during his State of the Union address Tuesday (local time).

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

Trump, however, did not mention which city will host the summit. The likely venues for the meeting include Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and the coastal city of Danang.

The two leaders held their first historic meeting last June in Singapore, reaching a broad agreement outlining bilateral pledges for sustainable peace on the Korean Peninsula.
