NORTH KOREA/NUCLEAR/SUMMIT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump on Tuesday [2-5-19] night revealed that he plans to meet North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un for a two-day summit in Vietnam on Feb. 27 and 28, as he also boasted about averting a deadly standoff with the rogue nation…The statement confirmed POLITICO’s report earlier on Tuesday that Trump had told TV anchors that he would announce the date and location of the summit. Should the meeting occur later this month as planned, it would be Trump’s second summit with Kim over the last year and the first time a U.S. president has twice met with the leader of the authoritarian regime. The two men held a historic first meeting in Singapore last June, during which they agreed on a framework for future negotiations, including that North Korea would begin to work toward ‘complete denuclearization.’”
