President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s second summit has ended ahead of schedule with no agreement on ridding the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons.

“The two leaders discussed various ways to advance denuclearization and economic driven concepts,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement on Thursday, Feb. 28. “No agreement was reached at this time, but their respective teams look forward to meeting in the future.”
