President Trump confirmed Tuesday night that he plans to meet with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in Vietnam on Feb. 27 and 28. “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 with potentially millions of people killed,” Trump said during his State of the Union address. “Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong Un is a good one. And Chairman Kim and I will meet again on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam.” The president first made the announcement to a group of television reporters shortly before his address, where sources said he was expected to publicly announce the date of the second U.S.-North Korea summit. “It’s happening. He said he was going to announce it tonight,” a source was quoted as telling Politico. Yonhap News Agency also reported on the planned dates for the upcoming summit.
