US President Donald Trump has hailed Wednesday's summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and said there had been "tremendous progress" with North Korea on several fronts including Pyongyang's denuclearisation.

"He's calm and I'm calm, so we'll see what happens," Trump said, referring to Kim.
