Speaking to a joint session of Congress in the House of Representatives, Trump said that "as part of a bold new diplomacy, we continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula."
"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 27 and 28 in Vietnam," he added.
US State Department said earlier on February 4 that Stephen Biegun, US special representative for DPRK-related issues, will travel to Pyongyang later on February 6 for meetings with his DPRK counterpart, Kim Hyok Chol, to lay the groundwork for the second
Trump-Kim summit and to "advance further progress on the commitments the President and Chairman Kim made in Singapore: complete denuclearization, transforming US-DPRK relations, and building a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula."
Trump met with Kim for the first time in Singapore in June, reaching several consensuses that have led to the improvement of the US-DPRK relations.
However, differences between the two sides remain over key issues including the scale of denuclearization, US sanctions on the DPRK and whether to issue a war-ending declaration.
