The White House has said a summit between Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un is being planned for 'near the end of February'.

If it goes ahead it'll be the second time the two men have met, in the wake of their historic summit in Singapore last June.

That meeting marked a significant cooling of tensions between the two countries after a very public war-of-words between the two leaders in 2017 and 2018.

However, while both men pledged to work towards the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, there appears to have been limited progress in the half-year since the Singapore summit.

Recent weeks have seen a flurry of fresh diplomatic activity amid speculation that a second meeting was on the cards.

Those plans were confirmed as President Trump as Trump met a senior North Korea envoy to discuss denuclearisation.

Kim Yong-Chol was invited to the White House after successful talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo earlier today.

Reports indicated the diplomat was due to deliver a letter from Kim Jong-Un to the US president.

Administration officials confirmed work is now underway for a second summit, saying the location will be announced shortly.

President @realDonaldTrump looks forward to a second summit with Chairman Kim, which will take place near the end of February. Location will be announced at a later date.

Media reports have suggested Vietnam and Sweden are being looked at as possible locations for the meeting.
