President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet for a second summit in February, the White House said Friday. A location has yet to be announced, but sources tell The Washington Post it will probably be in Danang, Vietnam.
The White House likely arranged the visit while top North Korean negotiator Kim Yong Chol visited the White House Friday. The "former spymaster" is often said to be Kim's "right-hand man," per BBC, and was scheduled to visit in November before the plan was canceled amid North Korea's announced weapons test.
