NORTH KOREA/SUMMIT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/VIETNAM: “President Donald Trump said Friday [2-8-19] night that a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is scheduled to take place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 27 and 28…Trump first announced during Tuesday’s [2-5-19] State of the Union address that he would meet Kim in Vietnam for further talks on North Korean denuclearization. act A more specific location for the talks had not been previously announced. The continued efforts by the Trump administration to court the hermitic North Korean regime have been a point of contention between the president and the intelligence community. Senior intelligence officials expressed doubt that North Korea would give up its nuclear weapons during testimony before a Senate panel last week.”
