Trump in 'no rush' as formal nuclear talks open with Kim eNCANews eNCAOnline Courtesy DStv403

US President Donald Trump walks with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un during a break in talks at the second US-North Korea summit at the Sofitel Legend Metropole hotel in Hanoi on February 28, 2019.

As they sat down for Thursday's formal discussions in Hanoi, Trump said he was in"no rush" to seal a deal and that"speed was not that important" to him as long as the North's pause in missile and nuclear testing continued. "I think watching us have a great time will be like watching a scene from a fantasy movie," he added.

It echoed a garden walkabout in Singapore, where the two men bonded over Trump's hulking car, the"Beast", with the US president allowing the younger man a glimpse inside. But scandal back home in Washington threatens to distract Trump with his former personal lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen calling him a"racist" and a"conman" during a congressional hearing.The president already showed he had the testimony at the back of his mind when he tweeted about it before his first meeting with Kim, saying Cohen -- who has been sentenced to three years in jail -- was"lying in order to reduce his prison time".
