US President Donald Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un are meeting in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi, for a historic second summit.
The two will hold formal talks tomorrow - where it's expected they'll discuss possible de-nuclearisation of the secretive state.
The pair exchanged handshakes and smiles in front of the press earlier today, and Mr. Trump said he believes North Korea could become an economic powerhouse.
All false reporting (guessing) on my intentions with respect to North Korea. Kim Jong Un and I will try very hard to work something out on Denuclearization & then making North Korea an Economic Powerhouse. I believe that China, Russia, Japan & South Korea will be very helpful!

Kim Jong UN, said he was confident there would be an "excellent outcome that everyone welcomes".
"I'll do my best to make it happen," he told reporters, before the men sat down to eat.
As mentioned, the leaders are meeting in Hanoi, Vietnam, which Trump praised in another tweet.
Vietnam is thriving like few places on earth. North Korea would be the same, and very quickly, if it would denuclearize. The potential is AWESOME, a great opportunity, like almost none other in history, for my friend Kim Jong Un. We will know fairly soon - Very Interesting!
