President Donald Trump will meet for a second time with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in late February, the White House announced after a private meeting Friday with an envoy from Pyongyang.

“President Donald J. Trump met with Kim Yong Chol for an hour-and-a-half, to discuss denuclearization and a second summit, which will take place near the end of February. The president looks forward to meeting with Chairman Kim at a place to be announced at a later date,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement.

The White House did not immediately indicate where the Trump-Kim meeting would take place. Switzerland, where the North Korean leader went to school, has been mentioned as a possible host country.

The announcement came as the White House was eager to distract from another damaging bombshell report that Trump directed former personal lawyer Michael Cohen to lie to Congress. (Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later called the report “categorically false.”)

The president met with Kim Yong Chol to “discuss relations between the two countries and continued progress on North Korea’s final, fully verified denuclearization,” Sanders announced Friday just minutes before that session was slated to begin at 12:15 p.m.
