Hanoi, Vietnam – US President Donald Trumpand North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have met for the second round of talks in Vietnam almost eight months after the landmark Singapore summit.
Kim and Trump, who reached the Vietnamese capital on Tuesday, shook hands at the Metropole hotel on Wednesday, sat down for a brief exchange before heading off to a working dinner.
“I believe the first time we met it was a great success and I think this will be equal or greater than the first one,” Trump told Kim at the brief meeting in front of reporters and photographers.
“In the first one, we made a lot of progress. And the biggest was our relationship. It was a really good one.”
