Manyin, Coordinator Specialist in Asian Affairs Emma Chanlett-Avery Specialist in Asian Affairs Mary Beth D. Nikitin Specialist in Nonproliferation Dianne E. Rennack Specialist in Foreign Policy Legislation March 6, 2019 Overview On February 27 and 28, President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un met in Hanoi to discuss North Koreas nuclear and missile programs, as well as the establishment of a new relationship between the two countries. The two leaders had held one prior summit, in Singapore, in June 2018. The Hanoi summit ended earlier than scheduled, with the cancelation of both a lunch and a ceremony to sign a joint statement. President Trump and U.S. officials said that the two leaders parted amicably, and that they expected dialogue would resume at a later date. An article in North Koreas state-run media also presented the summit in a positive light and mentioned that the two leaders agreed to “continue productive dialogues.” South Korean President Moon Jae-in offered to help the United States and North Korea narrow their differences.
