Kim Jong-un agrees to second Trump summit ‘as soon as possible’

Al Jazeera  

Pompeo and Kim ‘refine options’ for the location and date of a second summit between North Korean leader and Trump. Kim Jong-un has agreed to hold a second summit with US President Donald Trump “as soon as possible”, South Korea said, after Washington’s top diplomat held “productive” talks on denuclearisation with the North Korean leader in Pyongyang. Pompeo said “he agreed with Chairman Kim to hold the second US-North Korea summit at the earliest date possible,” according to a statement by South Korea‘s presidential office, although no specific time or location has yet been announced. It was another step forward and I think this is a good outcome for all of us.” Kim also praised their “nice meeting”, telling Pompeo via an interpreter following the morning’s talks that it was “a very nice day that promises a good future for both countries.” The US is pushing for progress on disarming North Korea‘s nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles programmes.
