According to North Korean state media, leader Kim Jong-un spoke highly of President Trump's determination to resolve their countries' issues.

The report said Kim will be patient and advance with the U.S. step by step toward their goal.

At their first summit, the leaders agreed to rid the Korean Peninsula of nuclear weapons and bring lasting peace.

But little progress has been made since that meeting.

Kim has made it clear he only wants to negotiate with Trump.

This may be a sign Kim believes Trump could deliver on North Korea's desired concessions, such as a peace treaty or eased international sanctions.
