WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st February, 2019) US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that his upcoming meeting with North Korean Chairman Kim Jong Un next week will not be the last meeting between both leaders.
"We've made a lot of progress, we've made a tremendous amount, that doesn't mean this is going to be the last meeting because I don't believe it will," Trump said.
Trump said he would "love" to take sanctions off North Korea but he first needs to see "meaningful" action on Pyongyang's part.
The US president said he would not be surprised to see an agreement between the United States and North Korea, adding that the latter has a lot of economic potential.
Trump and Kim will hold their second summit in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on February 27-28.
The situation on the Korean Peninsula has seen a significant improvement since last year, after Kim boosted ties with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and held a historic summit with Trump in June.
The first US-North Korean summit in Singapore resulted in an agreement stipulating that Pyongyang would make efforts to promote the complete denuclearization of the peninsula in exchange for the United States and South Korea freezing their military drills.
