President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are both headed Vietnam's capital Hanoi, for the second summit between the two leaders, which starts on Thursday New Zealand time. It's been eight months since the two leaders first met in Singapore to discuss denuclearisation.

Ambassador Christopher Hill is the former Assistant Secretary of State, former U.S. Ambassador to South Korea and former head of the U.S. delegation in six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear issue.

He speaks with Kathryn Ryan.
