Trump and Kim prepare for second summit in Vietnam
U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will hold their second summit in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on Feb 27-28.
The pair held their first historic meeting in June 2018, where Kim pledged to work towards the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
Negotiations have made little headway since the first meeting, with North Korea demanding *the* withdrawal of U.S.-led sanctions, *a* formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War and security guarantees.
