A [[September 2018 inter-Korean summit|third inter-Korean summit]] was held September 18–20, 2018, which sought a breakthrough in the hampered talks with the U.S. and a solution for the denuclearization
In November 2018, North Korea repeated its demand that U.S. economic sanctions be lifted as a condition for proceeding with talks, while the Trump administration continued to insist that North Korea make concessions first. Meetings between Pompeo and North Korean officials were scheduled, canceled due to disagreements, and then rescheduled.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/pompeos-meeting-with-north-korean-counterpart-called-off-at-last-minute/2018/11/07/2c355fca-e252-11e8-a1c9-6afe99dddd92_story.html|title=Pompeo's meeting with North Korean counterpart called off at last minute|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=February 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190220181354/https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/pompeos-meeting-with-north-korean-counterpart-called-off-at-last-minute/2018/11/07/2c355fca-e252-11e8-a1c9-6afe99dddd92_story.html|archive-date=February 20, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> The February 2019 summit was confirmed after [[Kim Yong-chol]], North Korea's top negotiator, met with Trump in the Oval Office on January 18, 2019.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/18/us/politics/trump-kim-summit.html|title=Trump and Kim Jong-un to Hold Second Summit Meeting Next Month|first1=Mark|last1=Landler|first2=David E.|last2=Sanger|newspaper=The New York Times |date=January 18, 2019|access-date=February 17, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190216205500/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/18/us/politics/trump-kim-summit.html|archive-date=February 16, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
In the days leading up to the summit, Trump declared that former president [[Barack Obama]] had been on the verge of going to war with North Korea and had told Trump so during the transition, which suggested that Trump had pulled the U.S. back from the brink of war; former Obama aides denied these claims.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/us/politics/trump-obama-north-korea.html|title=The War That Wasn't: Trump Claims Obama Was Ready to Strike North Korea|first=Peter|last=Baker|newspaper=The New York Times|date=February 16, 2019|access-date=February 23, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190224062625/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/16/us/politics/trump-obama-north-korea.html|archive-date=February 24, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref> Trump also suggested that he deserved the [[Nobel Peace Prize]] for his diplomacy with North Korea, with the U.S. informally asking Japan to nominate Trump, according to Japanese newspaper ''[[Asahi Shimbun]]'', which reported [[Shinzō Abe|Shinzo Abe]] doing so, but reports were neither confirmed nor denied, as it is tradition to keep nominations confidential.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/barack-obama/japan-nominated-trump-nobel-peace-prize-after-white-house-asked-n972661|title=Report: Japan nominated Trump for Nobel Peace Prize after White House asked|website=NBC News|date=February 18, 2019 |language=en|access-date=
Top American intelligence officials testified to Congress in January 2019 that it was unlikely North Korea would fully dismantle its nuclear arsenal, and Trump's national security advisor [[John R. Bolton|John Bolton]] continued to believe North Korea could not be trusted and that denuclearization efforts would fail.
In the summit, wide gaps persisted between the two countries, including disputes on what the exact definition of denuclearization entailed. In January, Biegun had repeated the official American stance that sanctions on North Korea would not be lifted until the country had fully denuclearized. On January 31, 2019, Biegun indicated that American negotiators may not demand that North Korea provide a full inventory of its nuclear and missile programs as a first step toward denuclearization, a demand that North Korea had been resisting.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/world/asia/us-north-korea-nuclear.html|title=U.S. Appears to Soften Timing for List of North Korea's Nuclear Assets|first=Edward|last=Wong|newspaper=The New York Times |date=January 31, 2019|access-date=February 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190227203958/https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/31/world/asia/us-north-korea-nuclear.html|archive-date=February 27, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

Trump assured North Korea a "tremendous future for your country" in his initial comments with Kim Jong Un. Kim Jong Un described the second summit as a "courageous political decision" by Trump and also added that there had been "a lot of thinking, effort, and patience" between now and the previous [[2018 North Korea–United States Singapore Summit|June summit in Singapore]].<ref name="auto2">{{cite web|url=https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-kim-jong-un-summit-vietnam-february-2019/index.html|title=President Trump meets with Kim Jong Un: Live updates|date=February 26, 2019|website=www.cnn.com|access-date=February 28, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190228023015/https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/trump-kim-jong-un-summit-vietnam-february-2019/index.html|archive-date=February 28, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the one-on-one meeting in Hanoi, Kim Jong Un was asked by a reporter if he would consider opening a US liaison office in Pyongyang. Kim Jong Un initially hesitated to answer the question and asked Trump to excuse the press from the summit room, but Trump urged Kim Jong Un to answer the question, to which he responded through an interpreter that the idea was "welcomeable". Trump acknowledged the response as a positive one. After that, another reporter asked if Kim Jong Un was willing to shut down his nuclear program, to which he responded, "If I'm not willing to do that, I wouldn't be here right now." The leaders went into a closed-room meeting, but the planned working lunch between Trump and Kim Jong Un and the potential joint signing ceremony were canceled. After preliminary negotiations between Trump and Kim Jong Un went over a period of time, [[White House Press Secretary]] [[Sarah Huckabee Sanders]] told reporters waiting to cover the lunch that it had been called off.<ref name="auto2"/>
One month after the summit ended, ''Reuters'' reported that on the second day of the summit, Trump passed Kim Jong Un a note that bluntly called for North Korea to surrender all its nuclear weapons and fuel, in similar fashion to the "[[Disarmament of Libya|Libya model]]", a proposal the North Koreans had repeatedly rejected. The scheduled ceremonial luncheon was then abruptly canceled and the summit ended.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/30/with-a-piece-of-paper-trump-called-on-kim-to-hand-over-nuclear-weapons.html|title=North Korea: Trump passed Kim a note demanding he give up his nukes|date=March 30, 2019|website=www.cnbc.com|access-date=April 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401175119/https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/30/with-a-piece-of-paper-trump-called-on-kim-to-hand-over-nuclear-weapons.html|archive-date=April 1, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>

During the press conference after the summit, Trump discussed American student [[Otto Warmbier]], who was imprisoned for 17 months by North Korea for conviction of subversion, and who died shortly after being returned comatose to the U.S. Trump said he believed Kim Jong Un's word that he did not personally know about Warmbier's alleged poor treatment when Warmbier was in North Korean custody, and that it was not to Kim Jong Un's benefit to allow Warmbier to be treated poorly.<ref>{{cite news |title=Otto Warmbier: Trump defends Kim over US student's death |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47404629 |work=[[BBC News]] |date=February 28, 2019 |access-date=

===== A news conference from North Korea =====
Hours later, in a rare move, North Korean officials called a news conference. Ri offered a different account of his country's position compared to Trump: North Korea had only proposed a partial lifting of sanctions. He stated that North Korea wanted 5 out of 11 sanctions originally imposed by the United Nations in 2016 and 2017 lifted; in exchange, Ri said that North Korea offered to "permanently and completely" dismantle its [[Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center|primary nuclear facility in Yongbyon]], and that American experts would be allowed to observe. Ri also quoted North Korea as proposing to put in writing that the country would end all nuclear tests and long-range missile tests. He said that the North Koreans saw that no agreement could be made after the United States demanded one further measure in addition to destroying the Yongbyon nuclear facility.

South Korea and Japan both supported Trump's decision to cut the summit short. However, a spokesman for Moon said "We do regret that President Trump and Kim Jong-un did not reach a complete agreement at today's summit," but also that the summit "made more meaningful progress than any other time in the past".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/south-korea-japan-back-trump-s-decision-walk-away-nuclear-n977551|title=Why N.

A [[Monmouth University]] poll found that while 65% of those surveyed—including 42% of Democrats—agreed that holding the summit was a good idea, 44% said it was likely to help reduce the North Korean nuclear threat.<ref>{{cite web |url= https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/433047-less-than-half-of-americans-think-second-trump-kim-reduced |title= North Korea nuclear threat: poll |first= BRETT |last= SAMUELS |date= March 7, 2019
Former special assistant to U.S. President [[Ronald Reagan]] and a senior fellow at the [[Cato Institute]], [[Doug Bandow]], compared North Korea and U.S. relations to that of Reagan and [[Mikhail Gorbachev]], where the agreement resulted in the end of the [[Cold War]]. Bandow contended that Trump was demanding unrealistically for Kim Jong Un to dismantle all his nuclear facilities, whereas Kim was only agreeing to shut down the [[Nyongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center|Nyongbyon Nuclear facility]] in exchange for a partial lifting of a few UN sanctions against his country. Asking continuously for an all nukes for sanctions deal is deemed as malicious in its intent and illogical and that it would put a strain on U.S.–North Korean relationships, which were volatile in the past, and could result in more problems for the U.S. and its allies in Asia, according to Bandow.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%E2%80%93-we-asked-doug-bandow-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations|title=The Hanoi Summit – We Asked Doug Bandow What Happens Next in U.S.-North Korea Relations|first=Doug|last=Bandow|date=March 12, 2019|website=The National Interest|access-date=April 1, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190401175155/https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%25E2%2580%2593-we-asked-doug-bandow-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations|archive-date=April 1, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
Douglas Dillon, Professor of Government at the [[Harvard Kennedy School]], and former director of Harvard's Belfer Center, Graham T. Allison, believed that the Hanoi summit
U.S. Senior Expert on North Korea, Frank Aum, said that future goals of the [[Trump administration]] should be the founding of smaller deals that resulted from the Hanoi summit. Deals that include the declaration of the end of the [[Korean War]], the exchange of liaison offices in both Pyongyang and Washington, some sanctions relief, and verified dismantling of some of North Korea's nuclear facilities ([[Nyongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Center|Nyngbyon]], [[Punggye-ri]], and [[Sohae Satellite Launching Station|Dongchang-ri]]) are attainable. According to Aum, Trump's "Big Deal" approach to North Korea would have been unrealistic, since it is not possible to achieve complete denuclearization in two years. He also said that some of the road-maps to establishing complete denuclearization might be the most hopeful solution.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%E2%80%93-we-asked-frank-aum-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations-47147|title=The Hanoi Summit – We Asked Frank Aum What Happens Next in U.S.-North Korea Relations|first=Frank|last=Aum|date=March 12, 2019|website=The National Interest|access-date=March 29, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329102529/https://nationalinterest.org/blog/korea-watch/hanoi-summit-%25E2%2580%2593-we-asked-frank-aum-what-happens-next-us-north-korea-relations-47147|archive-date=March 29, 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
A political scientist specializing in international security, Christopher J. Watterson, argued in ''[[The Diplomat]]'' that "North Korea's willingness to give up fissile material production in Nyongbyon might reflect an intent to shift operations to [[Kangson enrichment site|Kangson]], rather than an intent to cease fissile material production altogether".<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://thediplomat.com/2019/03/what-the-hanoi-summit-tells-us-about-north-koreas-nuclear-intentions/ |title=What the Hanoi Summit Tells Us About North Korea's Nuclear Intentions |first=Christopher |last=Watterson |date=March 6, 2019 |website=[[The Diplomat]] |access-date=August 13, 2020 |archive-date=September 12, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200912201131/https://thediplomat.com/2019/03/what-the-hanoi-summit-tells-us-about-north-koreas-nuclear-intentions/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

Se Young Jang, a fellow at the Stanton Nuclear Security at [[MIT]]'s Security Studies Program, said timing was crucial compared to the previous Clinton Administration's [[Agreed Framework]] with North Korea that failed to proceed.

Pompeo said in an interview with CBS on April 5 that he believed that the summit was an opportunity for both the U.S. and North Korea to have a deeper understanding of each other, and hoped that a third Trump–Kim summit would happen in the near future. He also believed that [[South Korea]] is helping with the denuclearization efforts, and he understands that many North and South Koreans have the same blood and they are family.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nknews.org/2019/04/pompeo-hopes-for-third-u-s-north-korea-summit/|title=Pompeo hopes for third U.S. - North Korea summit - NK News - North Korea News|date=April 5, 2019|website=

Dr. Chiew-Ping Hoo, a professor at the [[National University of Malaysia]], said that the negotiations at the Hanoi summit changed when Bolton was added to the panel. He advised to broaden focus from the Yongbyon nuclear site, and add other sites that produced [[Weapon of mass destruction|weapons of mass destruction]]. Trump had agreed with Bolton's advice due to U.S. domestic issues, which resulted in a no-deal outcome for the summit.

Moon was ready to meet with Kim Jong Un for a fourth time to try and save the stalled denuclearization deals between the U.S. and North Korea; however, Kim Jong Un asked Moon to support a common goal to unite North and South Korea instead of supporting the United States. In previous talks, both leaders agreed to reconnect the railways and roads that run through both their countries, normalize a factory park in [[Kaesong Industrial Region|the Kaesong Industrial Zone]], and allow South Korean tourists to visit the [[Mount Kumgang]] resort again.
