U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will hold their second summit in Vietnam on Feb. 27 and 28, the American leader said during his State of the Union speech Tuesday — a highly symbolic choice that offers something for both sides as they seek to kick-start deadlocked denuclearization talks.
"As part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula," Trump said, lauding the return of Americans held by the regime and a 15-month halt to nuclear and missile testing.
"Chairman Kim and I will meet again on Feb. 27 and 28 in Vietnam," he added without immediately revealing where in the Southeast Asian nation the talks will be held. Hanoi, the nation's capital, and Da Nang, a coastal resort town, have both been floated as possibilities.
