HANOI -- U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are deep into the second and final day of their summit in the Vietnamese capital, where the young dictator assured reporters he is willing to denuclearize.

"If I was not, I wouldn't be here," a smiling Kim told the media on Thursday, as the two leaders gave brief remarks before heading into a bilateral meeting that lasted about two hours.
