Trump calls relationship with North Korea leader ‘special’, says he’s in no rush to secure denuclearisation.
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump met in Vietnam on Wednesday for a second summit that the United States hopes will persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons in exchange for promises of peace and development.
Mr. Kim and Mr. Trump shook hands and smiled briefly in front of a row of their national flags at the Metropole hotel in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, before heading to dinner together.
Mr. Trump told reporters he thought the talks would be very successful, and asked if he was “walking back” on denuclearisation, said “no”. At their historic first summit in Singapore last June, Mr. Trump and Mr. Kim pledged to work toward denuclearisation and permanent peace on the Korean peninsula but little progress has been made.
