U.S. President Donald Trump kicked off his public schedule on Wednesday with a trip to Vietnam's Presidential Palace in Hanoi.
U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will face each other this week for their second summit in less than a year. But first, Trump has a raft of events with officials from Vietnam, which is playing host to the U.S.-North Korean talks for two days. The American president kicked off his Wednesday schedule with a visit to the Presidential Palace in Hanoi, where he met with Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong for a photo op and a meeting.
Trump heralded that agreement as "very comprehensive," but outside observers downplayed its importance because of a recurring diplomatic issue with Pyongyang: North Korea has a different definition for"denuclearization" than others.
