The Trump administration says it will announce a location at a later date. 

North Korea is still reportedly working on missile development despite a historic face-to-face meeting between Trump and Kim in Singapore last year. 

President Donald Trump will hold a second summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in late February as the U.S. pushes Pyongyang to dismantle its nuclear and missile programs, the White House said Friday.

The Trump administration said it would announce a location at a later date. The plans emerged after North Korean envoy Kim Yong Chol's meetings Friday with both Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

"President Donald J. Trump met with Kim Yong Chol for an hour and half, to discuss denuclearization and a second summit, which will take place near the end of February," the White House said in a readout of Trump's meeting with the North Korean representative. "The President looks forward to meeting with Chairman Kim at a place to be announced at a later date."
