|Hopes are high that Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will map out a plan to end the decades-old nuclear stand-off on the Korean Peninsula on Tuesday, following a series of high-level talks in Singapore between the United States and North Korea, and Pyongyang's declaration it was prepared to forge a "new relationship" with its American enemy.

The US President and the dictator he once referred to as "little rocket man" are due to sit down together at a luxury resort on Singapore's Sentosa Island at 11am AEST on Tuesday. It will be the first meeting between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader.
