Donald Trump says 'very talented' Kim Jong-un will 'do the right thing' on human rights abuses

Mr Trump added that he wanted improvement on human rights from the North Korean leader.

"I want significant improvement. I want to start that process. Although you cannot finish that process for a while, but you cannot go back," Mr Trump said.

But the calls for action came amid surprising praise for the leader he had traded insults with over the past 12 months.
