Trump to Hold Second Summit With Kim Jong Un in February, U.S. Says
U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will meet near the end of February for a second summit, despite evidence North Korea is advancing its nuclear weapons program.
The White House announced the summit and timing after Trump met Friday with Kim Yong Chol, a top aide to the North Korean leader and a former spy chief.
Trump's decision to go ahead with another in-person meeting -- further elevating Kim's global profile -- underscores the president's confidence that his personal involvement and negotiating skills can change the behavior of recalcitrant regimes in ways that traditional leverage and diplomacy, past U.S. leaders and his own emissaries could not.

You say "their right of survival." Otherwise known as their right to exist. I'm a very very strong believer in Israel's right to exist. By any means necessary. And that includes their nuclear. Iran has nuclear, why shouldn't Israel? And if they need help with the nuclear or the anything else, I'll be in my office. Or my bedroom. They can call me and we'll make a very fair deal. Jay Sekulow of the ACLJ, one of my incredible lawyers, has written a new book about Israel's right to exist.
