U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to hold a second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the end of February. What the two leaders hope to achieve remains a mystery.

The summit announcement came after a 90-minute White House meeting Friday between Trump and Kim Yong Chol, one of the North Korean leader’s top aides. They discussed “denuclearization and a second summit,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said. State Department spokesman Robert Palladino said talks between Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and the visiting envoy were “good.”
