The summit will be held in the capital Hanoi or the seaside city of Danang on February 27 and 28.

The first summit known as the Singapore summit was held in June last year where Trump and Kim had signed a pledge on denuclearisation, since then the nuclear talks have reached nowhere.

During the Singapore summit both the leaders signed an agreement agreeing on four things -

Normalise and boost the ties between the US and North Korea.
Formally end the 1950-53 Koran War.
Return the US war remains.
Work towards the complete denuclearisation of the Koran Peninsula.

But, due to some reasons the talks stalled for almost a year and now the 2nd summit is believed to help in reaching a interim deal.

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"It's a very interesting thing to say but I've developed a very, very good relationship (with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un). We'll see what that means. But he's never had a relationship with anybody from this country and hasn't had lots of relationships anywhere. And I always say, you know, the media sometimes will say 'well, what have they given up'. We've given up nothing. The sanctions ruin everything's on. But we have a special feeling and I think it's going to lead to something very good and maybe not. I think ultimately it will, but maybe not. And I'm not pushing for speed but we're not removing the sanctions and we're going to have, I think, a very interesting two-and-a-half days in Vietnam."

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"And we have a chance for the total denuclearisation of an area of the world that was very dangerous when I first came in or really, more particularly, at the end of the last administration, there were rockets going up, there were missiles going up, there were bombs going off, there were massive cannons being tested. If you ever saw the picture of the beach - I've never seen anything like it - where you had literally thousands of cannons on the beach shooting out into the waters. And there was nuclear testing. In fact, they thought it was earthquakes. They said there were massive earthquakes and then they realised it was North Korea. They said 'wow'. I think it's maybe not an earthquake. Now there's no testing, there's no rockets, there's no nuclear testing. And we get along well, very well."

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"As I tell Chairman Kim - he has a chance to have a country that is so vibrant economically - maybe one of the most in the world. He's got a location that's unbelievable; as a real estate person I've always done very well with location. But he's right between China, Russia, and then on the other side, South Korea - so they can't touch each other unless they go through North Korea. And I say you have one of the greatest locations. They have incredible people, hardworking people, smart, energetic. And I think it can be really one of the great - one of the great financial and economic countries anywhere in the world. So I tell him that. I said but you can't do that if you're going to keep nuclear, if you do nuclear that can't ever happen."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"And we see eye-to-eye, I believe. But you'll be seeing it more and more over the next couple of days, one way or the other. What's going to happen - I can't tell you. I think eventually it would but I can't tell you and I'm not in a rush. I don't want to rush anybody. I just don't want testing. As long as there is no testing, we're happy."
++BLACK FRAMES++
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Donald Trump, US President:
"But we have two very interesting days planned and I think it's a very important, it's a very important thing. Prime Minister (Shinzo) Abe of Japan said he can't believe what's happened in such a short period of time because rockets were being fired over Japan - rockets and missiles, both - and now that hasn't happened in long time -16 months, 17 months. No more testing, no more rockets, no more checking to see whether or not this stuff works. So you'll be seeing it. And I think it's going to be very interesting for people to see. But there's a chance to do something very, very special. It's very exciting."
