US President Donald Trump on Wednesday suggested there was a rather menacing reason to be grateful for his good working relationship with Kim Jong Un - North Korea's "57 very powerful nuclear weapons."

Speaking to reporters from outside the White House, Trump confirmed he would be meeting with Kim later this year as he was asked about his recent hints regarding his communications with the North Korean leader.

While he refused to say whether the pair were exchanging letters, he said he gets "along with him very well."
