After the ‘historic summit’ is another meeting to take place between the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un & US President Donald Trump? Kim’s letter says so.

Although there was a snag on the denuclearization of the peninsula, the new letter proved that the discussions remain alive. The White House has pointed to a series of accomplishments in recent months, including a release of US hostages, the repatriation of war remains believed to be of US service members and a pause in North Korea’s missile and nuclear tests, to suggest progress between the foes.
