Despite the historic nature of the meeting, Trump still found time to be very active on social media today.

The US hope the meeting will bring the two nations closer together as economic sanctions are discussed.

The world leaders shared a firm handshake and even a smile as they met at the hotel resort.

They held one-to-one talks for close to an hour before emerging on a balcony to wave and smile for waiting media.

Trump told reporters: "It is a tremendous honour, and I have no doubt we will have a terrific relationship."

He tipped the meeting to be "a success."

Kim Jong Un said, in Korean: “The old prejudices and practices worked as obstacles on our way forward, but we’ve overcome all of them, and we are here today."

"There were moments when we covered our ears and eyes, but we have overcome them to arrive here."
