Leaders en route for U.S.-North Korea summit meetingOn Wednesday, Kim Jong-un and President Trump are to meet in Hanoi, Vietnam, to discuss the North’s nuclear arsenal. The two leaders might also declare an end to the Korean War, which was technically only paused, according to South Korean officials. Seoul has long pushed for the peace declaration as a way to incentivize the North to give up its nuclear weapons. History: In the late 1950s, Tokyo worked to repatriate Koreans who had moved or were forcibly taken to Japan to work during World War II. Nearly 95,000 Koreans migrated to the North — among them, the mother of the current North Korean leader.
