Trump announced he will meet Kim Jong-un on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam

Donald Trump announced Tuesday night that he will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un again at a two-day summit on February 27-28 in Vietnam, nearly nine months after Singapore.

In his State of the Union address to Congress, Trump said that there is still much to be done for peace with North Korea, while welcoming the progress made over the past 15 months.

"If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would be today, in my opinion, at the heart of a major conflict with North Korea," he said.

After becoming president, Trump has long wielded war rhetoric with Pyongyang, promising in August 2017 "fire and fury" to North Korea if it renewed its nuclear threats against the United States.

The White House leader and the North Korean leader then moderated their speeches before meeting at a landmark summit in Singapore on June 12, after which Kim Jong-un promised his interlocutor to work for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
