Donald Trump boasted that his administration has made 'tremendous progress' in the dispute with North Korea in the year since he called Kim Jong-un 'Rocket Man' and placed heavy sanctions on the isolated regime for its illicit nuclear activities.

Trump said on his way into the United Nations that talks were 'moving very well' with the hermit nation and 'the relationships are very good.'

'We have many things in store, looks like we will have a second summit quite soon,' he said. 'As you know, Kim Jong-un wrote a letter - beautiful letter - and asking for a second meeting, and we will be doing that.'
