ISDP Korea Resources: Second Trump-Kim Summit – What Was and What Happens Next?

A focus of global attention, President Trump’s second summit with Chairman Kim Jong Un took place in Hanoi, Vietnam, on February 27-28. However, after a year of remarkable diplomatic rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula, there seems to have been a setback in relations. With no agreement made between the two sides significant questions remain. Where does this leave negotiations? Has this damaged inter-Korean relations?

ISDP’s Korea Center has long been engaged in analyzing the complex and protracted nuclear negotiations on the Korean Peninsula. To contextualize the wider issue at hand we have provided some resources to guide our readers through the key issues and positions.
