President Trump added that he is considering holding his summit with Kim Jong-Un at the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ) with South Korea rather than in a third-party country because of the potential to have a great 'celebration'.
According to media reports, Kim Jong-un is so obsessed with keeping his personal life guarded that he carries his own toilet wherever he travels. One of the cars in the convoy is fitted with toilet facilities for Kim's use, reports claimed.
US national security adviser John Bolton reacted coolly to word that Kim would abandon his weapons if the United States pledged not to invade.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un plans to shut down the country’s nuclear test site in May and reveal the process to experts and journalists from the United States and South Korea, says South Korea.
Trump spoke hours after Kim Jong Un became the first North Korean leader to visit south of the demarcation line between the two Koreas, meeting with President Moon Jae-in.

Striking a conciliatory tone, Kim pointed out that war is no solution as a victory cannot be achieved without pain. He also promised not to "repeat the unfortunate history".
North and South Korea on Friday signed a declaration – a ‘peace regime’ – agreeing to work for the “complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula’, bringing the Korean War to an end after 68 years.
Kim Jong-un became the first North Korean leader to step into the South for 65 years as he met with President Moon Jae-in for a peace summit today.
The two leaders were seen shaking hands and smiling broadly at the beginning of their historic talks.
"We have a decision to be made. We have three and four dates. That includes five locations. That will be narrowed down", said President Trump.
"We have been told directly that they would like to have the meeting as soon as possible. We think that's a great thing for the world," he was quoted as saying by IANS.
North Korea said on Saturday it has suspended nuclear and long-range missile tests and plans to close its nuclear test site ahead of a new round of negotiations with South Korea and the United States.
South Korean and US officials have said Kim is likely trying to save his broken economy from heavy sanctions.
Trump had disclosed on Tuesday that the US and North Korea were holding direct talks at “extremely high levels” in preparation for a possible summit.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. and North Korea are holding direct talks at “extremely high levels” in preparation for a potential summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The Trump administration has long said that if the North Koreans weren’t ready to discuss giving up their nuclear program, there was no reason for the two countries to hold negotiations.
