美国有线新闻 CNN 第二次金特会于2月底在越南河内举行

 

Two weeks from right now the leaders of the United States and North Korea will be holding their second ever summit. The first time they met, it was the first time that sitting leaders from these two countries ever came face to face. It was last summer in the Asian island country of Singapore. On February 27th and 28th, U.S. President Donald Trump¹ and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un will sit down in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, to discuss their priorities for a possible peace agreement.

Their nations have been rivals since fighting stopped in the Korean War in 1953. More than 65 years later, the U.S. is pushing for North Korea to completely get rid of its nuclear program and to stop trying to develop nuclear weapons. North Korea is pushing the U.S. to remove its sanctions —its penalties on North Korea's economy and promise that America won't attack the Asian country.

Analysts² say the results of their last meeting are a mixed bag. It was a foreign policy success for President Trump and leader Kim and military officials say that tensions have calmed down on the border that joins North Korea and South Korea — a U.S. ally. On the other hand, analysts say there hasn't been lasting³, concrete results from their first summit and that North Korea's military is still a risk to South Korea, the U.S. and their allies.
