HANOI, Vietnam, Feb 27 (NNN-VNA) – US President Donald Trump will meet North Korea leader Kim Jong Un on Wednesday in Hanoi<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump touched down late Tuesday on Air Force One after flying half way around the world from Washington, while Kim arrived earlier, following a two-and-a-half-day train journey from Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chairman of the North Korea Kim Jong Un\u2019s train arrived at the \u0110\u1ed3ng \u0110\u0103ng Railway Station in the northern border province of L\u1ea1ng S\u01a1n in the morning of February 26.\u00a0 \u2014 VNA <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
On completing their marathon trips, the protagonists of international diplomacy\u2019s most surprising bromance were treated to joyful welcomes from crowds of excited, flag-waving onlookers across the Vietnamese capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting with a brief conversation followed by dinner Wednesday, then in more talks Thursday, Trump and Kim aim to build on their startling initial meeting in Singapore last June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While that first summit ended with a vague statement promising to work “towards complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula”, they have since disagreed on what that means, and this time Trump in particular faces pressure to deliver concrete results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the plus side, there has been more than a year without North Korea rattling its neighbours with rocket and nuclear tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good vibes <\/h4>\n\n\n\nDonald Trump made no comment to reporters on Air Force One but had previously tweeted his hopes for a \u2019very productive\u2019 meeting in Hanoi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
“Thank you to all of the people for the great reception in Hanoi Tremendous crowds, and so much love!” Trump tweeted after reaching his Hanoi hotel from the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Kim got a similar reception from excited locals when he visited the North Korean embassy under heavy security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Trump is someone who has a strong character. His words are followed by actions,” said one admiring Hanoi resident, L\u00ea \u0110\u00ecnh H\u00f9ng, who carried a painting of Trump that he wanted to give him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The US president will be hoping he can carry those good vibes into the summit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in the run-up to the summit, he suggested that if the North gave up its weapons, it could be transformed from an isolated fortress state to an Asian economic tiger — much like Vi\u1ec7t Nam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“With complete Denuclearisation, North Korea will rapidly become an Economic Powerhouse,” tweeted Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
