Kim and Trump had met at the hotel just before 9 a.m., and spoke briefly in front of cameras before beginning the one-on-one meeting, which lasted some 40 minutes.

Kim and Trump were then seen taking a walk on hotel grounds and engaging in conversation in a courtyard with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and North Korea’s Kim Yong-chol in their presence.

Kim’s sister Kim Yo-jong was also seen in the courtyard, a short distance from the group.

The second part of the day’s summit meetings began as scheduled at 9:45 a.m., this time with senior aides in presence.
