Trump arrives in Hanoi for summit with Kim

ANI Asia

United States President Donald Trump on Tuesday arrived here for the second edition of his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in which denuclearisation of North Korea is expected to be taken up.

"Trump's Air Force One touched down around 9 p.m. (local time) at Noi Bai International Airport from where a black limousine took him to JW Marriott. A red carpet welcome was given to the United States President," Yonhap News Agency reported.

Most of the details of the much-anticipated meeting are still uncertain.

Trump and Kim are expected to address a joint press conference after the eagerly awaited meeting, slated to be held on February 27 and 28 - unlike last year's Singapore summit where Trump held a solo presser after the meet.

 

Earlier in the day, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reached Vietnam in his famed green armoured train and received a red carpet welcome ahead of the Hanoi Summit.

The North Korean leader had embarked on the two-and-half day journey, choosing to undertake a 60-hour-long train journey to the border city of Dang Dong in Vietnam which will be followed by a car ride to Hanoi.

The US has reinforced that sanctions would only be eased once full denuclearisation is achieved by Pyongyang - a stand which the US still stuck to even with the second summit drawing near.
