Donald Trump, Kim Jong Un to meet on Feb.27-28

US President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that he will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam on February 27-28.

Addressing Congress during his second State of the Union, Trump said his relationship with North Korea’s leader is “good” and progress has made in his administration’s efforts to achieve peace on the Korean peninsula.

Trump, however, said much work remains to be done and gave an ominous warning about the risks of heightened tensions with North Korea, going so far as to claim that Washington and Pyongyang would be at war if he had not been elected president.

“If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea,” Trump said.

The first meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un was held on June 12 in Singapore.
