The Trump-Kim meeting is scheduled to be held in Singapore on June 12.
"I truly believe North Korea has brilliant potential and will be a great economic and financial Nation one day. Kim Jong Un agrees with me on this. It will happen!" said the White House host.
The Washington Post reported earlier on Sunday that former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Sung Kim on Sunday crossed into the DPRK to prepare for a summit with Choe Son Hui, DPRK's vice foreign minister.
The Washington Post quoted State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert as saying that the meetings are expected to continue Monday and Tuesday in the northern part of the demilitarized zone where DPRK leader Kim Jong Un met with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Saturday.
