North Korea confirms Kim Jong-Un is on train to Hanoi summit

North Korea has confirmed that Kim Jong-Un is on a train bound for Vietnam for his second summit with President Trump.

The country's news agency confirmed that he is accompanied by Kim Yong Chol, a key negotiator in talks with the US and Kim Yo Jong, the leader's sister.

Kim and Mr Trump will meet in Hanoi on Wednesday and Thursday.

According to US officials, Mr Trump will show the North Korean leader the positives of following through a commitment to final and full denuclearisation.

Mr Trump has four priorities for the summit which are transforming relations between the US and North Korea, establishing a permanent peace regime on the Korean peninsula, denuclearisation and the return of troops killed in action during the Korean War.

The men are expected to have a meal together as well as one on one meetings.

They met for the first time in June last year in Singapore.

Mr Trump said the summit went "better than anybody could imagine."
