At the extended bilateral meeting earlier Tuesday, North Korea's Kim Jong Un said he believed sitting down with President Trump is "a great prelude to peace."
Trump agreed, saying, "I do too."
Kim continued: "As I said earlier, until now, others have been unable to attempt."
"Of course there will be difficulties along the way, but as of today, a day that a good start has been made, I am determined to start a grand undertaking together."
President Trump and Kim Jong Un are sitting down with top officials from both countries for a working lunch, a bit later than originally planned.
The extended bilateral negotiations were scheduled to end at about 11:30 a.m. local time (11:30 p.m. ET), according to the White House.
But instead the two were pictured taking their seats at a long table, with their primary advisers, about 20 minutes late.
Trump invited Kim to sit down, before jokingly asking photographers to take photos which would make them look “nice and handsome and thin.”
There are no official events scheduled for the rest of the day until Trump meets with reporters at 4 p.m. in the afternoon (4 a.m ET).
