This will be the first time that the US President and North Korean leader have met.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have agreed to meet by the end of May.

This is a very big deal because there have been many arguments between the USA and North Korea in the past.

Both men have been boasting about their country's nuclear weapons, so many other world leaders think it's important that the two talk.

Until recently, it would have been very unlikely that they would meet, as they'd mostly been calling each other names.

Why is Trump boasting about his nuclear button?

Mr Trump said the development was "great progress".

Mr Kim said his country is "committed to denuclearisation" - for now this means the country will halt all nuclear and missile tests.
