This was the second formal meeting between Trump and Kim, the first being their in Singapore last year.
"We had a successful first summit," Trump added. "I think this one hopefully will be equal or greater to had the first. We have had a lot of progress and I think the biggest progress was our relationship."
Before leaving, Trump said he expected to have a "very interesting two and-a-half days in Vietnam" with the chance at total "denuclearization of an area of the world that was very dangerous."
Trump's visit has already been productive as he signed a $20 billion trade deal with Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong Wednesday. Trump also attended a signing ceremony where Boeing signed deals with two Vietnamese airlines worth $15.7 billion.
