Big ask: North Korea's Kim answers first questions from foreign journalists

In an unexpected first, Kim spoke to foreign journalists on Thursday during a photo opportunity in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi. "I won't make a premature judgment, but my sense is that there will be good results," Kim said of his meeting with Trump, in response to a question from Washington Post reporter David Nakamura. While Kim's optimism was misplaced, it marked the first time the North Korean leader has ever answer a question from a foreign journalist, and there was more to come.
