President Trump confirms second summit with North Korea will take place in 'not too distant future'

US President Donald Trump says a second meeting with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un will take place in the “not too distant future.”

Mr Trump said that the details for a second visit would be revealed soon, adding that the next summit would not take place in Singapore.

He met with Kim Jong-un in the city in June, marking the first time a sitting US president has met a North Korean leader.

Earlier on Tuesday, South Korean President Moon Jae-in confirmed that the North Korean leader was hoping to meet with Mr Trump soon.

On Monday at the United Nations in New York, Mr Trump said: “As you know, Kim Jong-un wrote a letter – a beautiful letter – and asked me for a second meeting and we will be doing that. Pompeo will work that out in the immediate future.”

The first summit in Singapore earlier this year was labelled as a “one-time shot” at peace.

Both leaders signed a document pledging to work towards the “complete denuclearisation” of the Korean peninsula.

It also said that they will join efforts to “build a lasting and stable peace regime.”

Mr Kim told reporters that they had "decided to leave the past behind" and that the world was about to see a "historic change". While Mr Trump told reporters the pair had signed a "pretty comprehensive document" after some "very intensive" but "great" time together.

Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo said on Sunday that economic sanctions on North Korea won't be reduced until it completes "denuclearisation".

Kim Jong-un has said that he is willing to dismantle the Nyongbyon nuclear complex in the presence of outside inspectors if the U.S. takes unspecified "corresponding measures." He has also promised to dismantle the North's main rocket launch site.
