Prior to his meeting with Mr Kim, Mr Trump will meet Vietnam’s prime minister and other politicians.
The pair are then scheduled to dine at Hanoi’s five-star Metropole hotel.
Mr Trump tweeted in praise of the host country on Wednesday morning, writing: “Vietnam is thriving like few places on earth. North Korea would be the same, and very quickly, if it would denuclearize.”
What’s the Trump-Kim schedule looking like?
Their first encounter will be a 20-minute one-on-one meeting at 18:40 local time (11:40 GMT). It will be followed by dinner with their aides, according to the White House.
The two leaders will attend a series of meetings together on Thursday, but their exact agenda is unknown.
It’s expected that any major events – the signing of agreements or significant press conferences – will take place on Thursday.
