Against a backdrop of US and North Korean flags, the two first shook hands for about 12 seconds, and Trump at one point grabbed Kim's arm as they posed for pictures.
They did not smile, but moments later exchanged grins and another handshake as they stopped in a colonnade on their way to a nearby room for their first one-on-one meeting.
