Trump to meet North Korean leader Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam President Donald Trump says he will hold a two-day summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un Feb. 27-28 in Vietnam to continue his efforts to persuade Kim to give up his nuclear weapons WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump will hold a two-day summit with North Korea leader Kim Jong Un Feb. 27-28 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 last June in Singapore opened a path to peace. But there is not yet a concrete plan for how denuclearization could be implemented. Denuclearizing North Korea is something that has eluded the U.S. for more than two decades, since it was first learned that North Korea was close to acquiring the means for nuclear weapons. "As part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula," Trump said Tuesday in his State of the Union address. Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats told Congress last week that U.S. intelligence officials do not believe Kim will eliminate his nuclear weapons or the capacity to build more because he believes they are key to the survival of the regime. Satellite video taken since the June summit has indicated North Korea is continuing to produce nuclear materials at its weapons factories. Last year, North Korea released American detainees, suspended nuclear and long-range missile tests and dismantled a nuclear test site and parts of a rocket launch facility without the presence of outside experts. It has repeatedly demanded that the United States reciprocate with measures such as sanctions relief, but Washington has called for North Korea to take steps such as providing a detailed account of its nuclear and missile facilities that would be inspected and dismantled under a potential deal. At the second Trump-Kim summit, some experts say North Korea is likely to seek to trade the destruction of its main Yongbyon nuclear complex for a U.S. promise to formally declare the end of the 1950-53 Korean War, open a liaison office in Pyongyang and allow the North to resume some lucrative economic projects with South Korea. "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. "Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong Un is a good one," he said in announcing their second meeting. Trump also asserted that, "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." "That was real eye-roller," Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer told CNN Wednesday. He criticized Trump's foreign policy as engaged in "patting dictators on the back." Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told FOX Business Network the U.S. is "very hopeful" Kim "will fulfill his commitment, the one that he made back in June in Singapore, to denuclearize his country." Stephen Biegun, Pompeo's special representative for North Korea, acknowledged that many issues make it especially complicated for the two countries to "embark on a diplomatic initiative of this magnitude." Biegun was in Pyongyang on Tuesday. The Vietnamese city where the two leaders will meet was not announced. The country, however, is keen to project itself on the world stage. It is a single-party communist state that boasts of tight political control and a tough security apparatus similar to Singapore's. Where Singapore leans West, generally appreciative of U.S. influence in Asia, Vietnam leans East. Even with its edgy relationship with China, it has a long fraternal history with Asia's communist states. This is friendly ground for Kim and closer than Singapore. On a related issue, the State Department said this week that the U.S. and South Korea have reached a tentative agreement on sharing the costs of keeping 28,500 American troops in South Korea, but no final deal has been signed to replace the existing agreement, which expired at the end of 2018. South Korea pays more than $800 million a year, but Trump has demanded that Seoul pay 50 percent more. News that a tentative agreement has been reached offers relief to those who worried Trump would use the lack of a deal as a reason to pull U.S. troops out of South Korea as part of negotiations with Kim. North Korea has claimed that the presence of American troops in the South is proof that the U.S. has hostile intentions in the region. Trump said after his first meeting with Kim in June that while he'd like to bring troops home, "that's not part of the equation right now." ——— Associated Press writer Grant Peck in Bangkok contributed to this report.

वासिङ्टन: अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनाल्ड ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाली नेता कीम जोङ–अनलाई फेब्रुअरी २७–२८ तारिखमा भियतनाममा भेट्ने घोषणा गर्नुभएको छ । दुबै नेताबीच गत वर्ष जुनमा सिंगापुरमा पहिलो ऐतिहासिक शिखर बैठक भएको थियो । भियतनाम बैठकमा राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियाको आणविक कार्यक्रम त्याग्नका लागि उत्तर कोरियाली नेतालाई सहमत गराउन विशेष पहल गर्नु हुनेछ । अमेरिकी संयुक्त सदनलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले गत वर्ष सिंगापुरमा भएको पहिलो वार्ताले शान्तिका लागि बाटो खोलेको बताउनुभयो । तर आणविक निःशस्त्रीकरण कसरी सम्पन्न हुन्छ भन्नेमा अझैसम्म ठोस कार्यक्रम र रुपरेखा तय भइसकेको छैन । राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले भन्नुभयो, “कोरियाली प्रायःद्वीपमा दिगो शान्ति स्थापना गर्न संयुक्तराज्य अमेरिकाले ऐतिहासिक र साहसिक कदम चाल्नु आवश्यक थियो ।” राष्ट्रिय गुप्तचर निकायका निर्देशक ड्यान कोट्सले गत साता कङ्ग्रेसको एक समितिमा अमेरिकी गुप्तचर अधिकारीहरुले अझै पनि कीमले आणविक कार्यक्रम त्याग्नेमा विश्वास नगरेको बताउनुभएको थियो । उहाँले आणविक अस्त्र नै उत्तर कोरियाको मुख्य बाँच्ने आधार रहेको बताउनुभएको छ । गत वर्ष जुनमा भएको पहिलो शिखर बैठकपछि लिइएका भूउपग्रहीय तस्वीरमा उत्तर कोरियाले आणविक सामग्रीहरुको उत्पादनलाई नरोकेको सङ्केत गरेका छन् । गत वर्ष, उत्तर कोरियाले थुनामा रहेका केही अमेरिकीलाई छाडेको थियो भने आणविक तथा लामो दूरीका क्षेप्यास्त्रको परीक्षण स्थगित गरेको थियो । एउटा आणविक परीक्षण केन्द्र ध्वस्त बनाउनुका साथै एउटा रकेट प्रक्षेपण स्थल नष्ट गरेको थियो । तर यी सबै कार्यहरु कुनै पनि अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय विज्ञ वा मुलुकको रोहबरमा गरिएका थिएनन् । यद्यपी राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले हालसम्म भएका प्रगतिको विवरण सुनाउँदै भन्नुभयो, “उत्तर कोरियामा कब्जामा रहेका अमेरिकीहरु घर फर्किएका छन्, आणविक परीक्षण रोकिएको छ, र १५ महिनाभन्दा बढी समयदेखि कुनै पनि किसिमको क्षेप्यास्त्र प्रहारका घटना भएका छैनन् । यदि म अमेरिकाको राष्ट्रपतिमा निर्वाचित नभएको भए मेरो विचारमा उत्तर कोरियासँग ठूलो युद्ध शुरु भइसकेको हुन्थ्यो ।” “धेरै काम गर्न अझै बाँकी नै छ, तर कीम जोङ–अनसँग मेरो सम्बन्ध निकै राम्रो छ,” उहाँले बताउनुभयो । दुई नेताबीच भियतनाममा हुने शिखर बैठकको तयारीका निम्ति उत्तर कोरियाका लागि अमेरिकी विशेषदूत स्टेफन बाइगन उत्तर कोरिया प्रस्थान गर्नुभएको छ । भियतनाममा हुने दुई दिने शिखर बैठकको स्थान भने घोषणा गरिएको छैन । भियतनाममा कम्युनिष्ट शासन रहेपनि आर्थिक उदारवाद र स्वतन्त्र व्यापार नीतिका कारण भियतनामले पछिल्लो केहीवर्षदेखि उच्च दरको आर्थिक विकास गरिरहेको छ ।
