US President Donald Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un have begun their high-profile second summit in Vietnam's capital, Hanoi. They shook hands for the media before holding talks and having dinner at the five-star Metropole hotel. There has been little progress on that and other issues since the first Trump-Kim summit in Singapore last year. Asked whether a formal end to the Korean War might be declared, he said: "We'll see." Kim, whom the US president described as a "great leader", said he was confident there would be an "excellent outcome that everyone welcomes".
