| [AsiaTimes] US and North Korea agree to a second summit in late February in a bid to revive their stalled but crucial denuclearization talks US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un have agreed to a second summit meeting, to be held in late February, a move that aims to rekindle what many see as an initially hopeful but now stalled dialogue process on Korean Peninsula denuclearization. The White House announcement came after a 90-minute meeting in the Oval Office between Trump and Kim Yong-chol, a former North Korean intelligence chief who serves as Kim’s top nuclear negotiator, according to news reports. A date and the location for the meeting was not announced, suggesting that the two sides were still seeking concessions from one another or were still negotiating the summit’s site. Vietnam, Thailand and Hawaii have all been mentioned as potential places for the meeting. |
