Aftermath of the Korean War

The second summit between the leaders of the United States and North Korea, which takes place in the Vietnamese capital Hanoi, has begun.

Asked whether he'd walked back his vow to insist upon the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, Trump said he had not.

"No," he said. 

Questioned later whether he planned to declare an end to the Korean War, he said: "We'll see."

There was still some hard work to be done ahead of the upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, a Washington envoy said Saturday after three days of talks in Pyongyang.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he wanted to produce a "big outcome" as he began three days of summit talks on Sept. 18 with South Korea's President Moon Jae-in aimed at rekindling stalled nuclear diplomacy.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in travels to Pyongyang this week for his third summit with Kim Jong Un, looking to break the deadlock in nuclear talks between North Korea and the United States.

A high-level South Korean delegation will fly to North Korea this week to discuss arrangements for an inter-Korean summit there this month, as relations grow cooler between Washington and Pyongyang.

North and South Korea agreed Monday to hold a summit in Pyongyang in September, the South's Yonhap news agency reported following high-level talks in the Demilitarized Zone that divides the peninsula.

The two sides "agreed at the meeting to hold a South-North summit in Pyongyang in September as planned", Yonhap quoted a joint statement as saying, without giving a precise date.

South Korean President Moon Jae-in declared on June 5 his plan to uncover the missing remains of Korean War soldiers, suggesting that better relations with North Korea will allow for a thorough search of the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) that currently separates the two sides.

A U.S. team was in North Korea to plan a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, according to President Donald Trump, raising expectations that the on-off-on meeting would indeed take place.

Seoul, South Korea (CNN) - The leaders of North and South Korea held a surprise meeting Saturday, their second in a month, two days after President Donald Trump abruptly canceled a summit meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
