US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are preparing to hold their second summit meeting on 27-28 February in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi.
Senior aides to President Donald Trump claim that the commander-in-chief hopes that his upcoming meeting with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un in Vietnam will divert media attention away from “mounting political turmoil”, The Washington Post reported.
According to the media outlet, some fear that Trump could be pressured to make a major concession on North Korea’s denuclearisation to Kim during the upcoming one-on-one talks in Vietnam’s Hanoi in hopes of securing a commitment “he can herald as a political victory”.
Trump and Kim will hold their second meeting on 27-28 February in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi. At a recent news conference in the Rose Garden, Trump announced that Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize for his contribution to the normalisation of the situation on the Korean Peninsula and lamented insufficient credit from the media for his efforts on North Korea.
