US President Donald Trump announced during Tuesday's State of the Union address that his second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will take place in Vietnam on February 27 and 28, CNN reports.

"We continue our historic push for peace on the Korean Peninsula. Our hostages have come home, nuclear testing has stopped and there has not been a missile launch in more than 15 months. If I had not been elected President of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea," Trump said.

"Much work remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong Un is a good one. Chairman Kim and I will meet again on February 27 and 28 in Vietnam," he added.

The city in Vietnam is still being discussed but the contenders are Hanoi and Da Nang, according to a source familiar with the summit's planning.

Trump and Kim Jong Un met last year in Singapore, where the North Korean leader agreed to "work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula."

Trump later declared that the meeting had eliminated any nuclear threat posed by North Korea, even though it had produced no verifiable proof that the rogue regime will discontinue its nuclear program.
