Donald Trump greets Kim John Un at their second summit, held in Vietnam. The second summit between Trump and Kim on Wednesday came against the backdrop of the American president's domestic troubles. The leaders' first meeting in June last year was heavy with historic pageantry but light on any enforceable agreements for North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenal. Asked if this summit would yield a political declaration to end the Korean War, Trump told reporters: "We'll see." The Korean conflict ended in 1953 with an armistice, essentially a cease-fire signed by North Korea, China and the 17-nation, US-led United Nations Command.
