트럼프 "27~28일 베트남서 김정은 만날 것"...국정연설서 제2차 북미정상회담 일정 발표
U.S. President Donald Trump gave his highly anticipated State of the Union speech Tuesday night to a joint session of Congress.
In it, he announced the date and country where he'll next be meeting North Korean leader Kim Jong-un... just three weeks from now.
South Korea has welcomed the setting of a date, as our Yoon Jung-min reports.
In his State of Union address Tuesday night, local time, President Trump said the second North Korea-U.S. summit will be held, as widely expected, in Vietnam at the end of this month.
"Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong-un is a good one. Chairman Kim and I will meet again on February 27th and 28th in Vietnam."
Trump will be meeting Chairman Kim for the second time.
Their first summit was last June in Singapore, but for several months now, progress on denuclearization seems to have stalled.
In his speech, Trump said he would continue working for peace on the Korean Peninsula,... and touted his accomplishments in America's relationship with the North.
"As part of a bold diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Our hostages have come home. Nuclear testing has stopped. And there has not been a missile launch in more than last 15 months. If I had not been elected president of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea."
Though he didn't name a specific city or venue for the next summit, many observers think it'll be either Hanoi or Danang.
The announcement came as talks were underway in Pyeongyang on Wednesday, Korea time, between high-level officials from the U.S. and North Korea to fine-tune the summit agenda.
After Trump's speech, South Korea's Presidential Office of Cheong Wa Dae welcomed the announcement of the dates, and said it hopes an improving U.S. relationship with Vietnam will help create a new path for the U.S. and North Korea as well.
Trump said he will also meet Chinese president Xi Jinping around the end of February to discuss broader issues including denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula and U.S.-China trade.
As for America domestically, in his speech, Trump praised his administration's stewardship of the economy.
He called for stronger border security, including a wall, to stop drugs and illegal immigration, and he appealed for unity in a divided Congress.
