White House Announcement: Second nuclear summit between Trump, North Korea to be held in February

A second summit between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will take place next month, the White House announced Friday.

President Trump met with a top North Korean official Friday afternoon in the Oval Office.

“President Donald J. Trump met with Kim Yong Chol for an hour and a half, to discuss denuclearization and a second summit, which will take place near the end of February. The President looks forward to meeting with Chairman Kim at a place to be announced at a later date," the White House said in a statement.

The face-to-face came after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Kim Yong-chol, North Korea's lead negotiator, in the nation’s capital early Friday morning to negotiate terms that could lead to a second nuclear summit between Trump and Pyongyang leader Kim Jong-un.

Pompeo and Kim Yong-chol didn’t shake hands or respond to reporters’ questions but did smile during a photo opportunity ahead of their meeting at a hotel in Northwest Washington.

Kim Yong-chol was understood to have carried a letter from the North Korean dictator to Trump. Last year, he presented Trump with an oversized letter in the Oval Office that led to the leaders’ historic June summit.

“They will discuss relations between the two countries and continued progress on North Korea’s final, fully verified denuclearization," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement shortly before the meeting.

President Trump has a lot going on behind the scene that we don’t know (and the media does not know).

It puts the constant call for “Impeachment” into context. A bunch of petty little people trying to destroy him because he is not one of them.

I am still not sure China either gets this (unlikely) or is at all interested, in resolving things between our countries.

(Much more likely)

An entire generation of Americans, has been selling out our own country.

Both parties.

For real.
