"We're going to very soon. We're going to announce it pretty soon. We'll be announcing it early next week,” Trump told reporters at the White House.

The meeting between Trump and Kim will be their second face-to-face encounter following a meeting in Singapore last June.

Both sides have said they look forward to the new meeting.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that the second meeting will take place "someplace in Asia", without revealing further details.

The US State Department has announced that Stephen Biegun, the U.S. special representative for North Korea, will travel to Seoul on Sunday for a meeting with his South Korean counterpart Lee Do-hoon.

Biegun will also have follow-up meetings with his North Korean counterpart to discuss the "next steps" to advance the goal of denuclearization.
