President Donald Trump will hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un near the end of February to try to coax the communist nation to give up its nuclear program. The White House announced the plans Friday after Trump met with North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said the location of the meeting will be made public later.

Trump had his first, historic meeting with Kim Jong Un last June in Singapore the two reached a vague denuclearization agreement, but little tangible progress has been made since.
