폼페이오 하노이 도착했지만 보이지 않아,... 트럼프는 저녁 8시반에 도착 예정
Meanwhile, we know that the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Hanoi earlier today.
But it seems like no one knows for sure where he is.
For more, let's connect to our Lee Ji-wo in Hanoi.
Ji-won, what news do we have on the American delegation?
Devin, I'm in front of the JW Marriott Hotel, where President Trump and the rest of the U.S. delegation are going to be staying while they're in Hanoi.
Reuters reported that Secretary Pompeo arrived in Hanoi at around 8am, local time,... but he's nowhere to be seen.
Earlier in the morning, the presidential limo, The Beast, left the hotel,... but we haven't heard where that's gone either.
Inside the hotel, we saw Alex Wong, Deputy Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs and Allison Hooker, a National Security Council official,... but the U.S. delegates, including Washington's top negotiator Stephen Biegun, seem to be preparing for the President's arrival.
Meanwhile the State Department announced that at 6-thirty p.m., today, the Secretary is going to be meeting with Vietnam's Deputy Prime Minister and foreign affairs minister Pham Binh Minh.
Now Ji-won, President Trump left Washington some time ago. When do we think he's going to get to Hanoi?
Yes Devin. President Trump is currently en route to Vietnam right now.
Vietnam's foreign ministry said Monday that Air Force One will be landing at Hanoi's Noi Bai International Airport at 8:30 p.m. tonight.
The White House announced that President Trump will be holding a one-on-one sitdown with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un Wednesday evening,... followed by a social dinner, a first,... which will include two officials from each side.
Joining that dinner will be Secretary Pompeo and Mick Mulvaney, Acting White House Chief of Staff.
Earlier that day, Trump will meet with Vietnam's president, who is also general secretary of the ruling Communist Party, (NGUYEN FOO CHUNG) Nguyen Phu Trong, and the Prime Minister (new-when shun-fook) Nguyen Xuan Phuc.
Back to you Devin.
