US President Donald Trump has said he expects to hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un “in the not too distant future” over the progress in the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula and praised him for being “very open and terrific”.
The two leaders held their first historic meeting in Singapore in June but the details of their agreement over disarmament were vague, with no timeline or indication on how the steps towards denuclearisation would be achieved.
“I am going to be meeting with Chairman Kim in the not-too-distant future. The location is being worked on, the time is being worked on, and we will be announcing it,” Trump told reporters during a meeting with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-In in New York on the sidelines of the annual UN General Assembly.
