Trump, Kim to meet in Vietnam

-

WASHINGTON (AP) — Us President donald Trump said on Tuesday that he will hold a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam to continue his efforts to persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons.

Trump has said his outreach to Kim and their first meeting last June in singapore opened a path to peace. But there is not yet a concrete plan for how denucleari­zation could be implemente­d.

denucleari­zing North Korea is something that has eluded the Us for more than two decades, since it was first learned that North Korea was close to acquiring the means for nuclear weapons.

”As part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula,” Trump said in his state of the Union address.
