White House issues “peace negotiation” coin with image of Vietnam

The new coin was launched on February 23, priced at $100, with a limited quantity of 1,000 pieces. The coin has two sides, one side has the text "New Avenue to Peace" in English and Korean, with an image of a globe with the words "second peace conference" in the middle, the name of South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the top, US President Donald Trump on the left and North Korean President Kim Jong-un on the right, according toCBS.

The other side of the coin features the words "Turning Point - Cooperation towards Complete Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" with an image of the Presidential Palace in Hanoi, the flags of the United States, South Korea and North Korea, and the words "Peace Negotiations, Vietnam 2019".

The White House also revealed some details about how the US President is preparing for the second summit with North Korea. When asked what the White House's specific goals are, top White House adviser Kellyanne Conway said he wants to make progress on denuclearization.

"The president has been very clear that he wants the second meeting to continue to move forward on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, which is beneficial to everyone," Conway said. "Of course, President Obama himself told President Trump that North Korea would be his greatest challenge. So he's working on that challenge, and we're on the road."

"We have people who were captured and returned to American soil. The vice president went to Hawaii to receive the remains of those who died in the Korean War. Trying to end the war in North Korea after nearly seven decades and move toward denuclearization is an incredibly important goal and that's why the president is preparing for a second meeting, going a long way toward ending it. But in the meantime, the sanctions will continue," Conway explained.

President Trump is expected to leave the US next week to go to Vietnam for a summit with Chairman Kim Jong-un on February 27 and 28.
