Trump and Kim are holding meetings in the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi on Wednesday and Thursday, following an earlier summit in Singapore last June.

At their Singapore summit, Trump and Kim pledged to make effort to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula, and this time they are expected to discuss concrete steps that would achieve this goal.

The White House said earlier on Wednesday that Trump and Kim would have an agreement signing ceremony at the conclusion of their second summit in Hanoi.
