According to South Korea, US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un could agree a formal end to the Korean War at their summit this week. „The possibility exists,“ said a spokesman for the Presidential Office today, according to a news agency Yonhap.
Trump and Kim are scheduled to meet in Hanoi, Vietnam on Wednesday. The theme in particular is the goal of complete nuclear disarmament in North Korea, which was declared at a first summit eight months ago. The fighting in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953 ended with a ceasefire, but a peace treaty was never closed, so that until today is formally a state of war.
