AP, WASHINGTONUS President Donald Trump on Tuesday said that he would hold a two-day summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 in Vietnam to continue his efforts to persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons. Trump has said his outreach to Kim and their first meeting in June last year in Singapore opened a path to peace. Satellite video taken since the June summit has indicated North Korea is continuing to produce nuclear materials at its weapons factories. “Our hostages have come home, nuclear testing has stopped and there has not been a missile launch in more than 15 months,” Trump said. “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,” he said.
