US President Donald Trump has said that a breakthrough achieved to de-nuclearise North Korea, claiming a deal with the Kim Jong Un-headed country was underway and it would be a 'very good one' for the world.
"The deal with North Korea is very much in the making and will be, if completed, a very good one for the World. Time and place to be determined, tweeted Trump on Friday.

The tweet also said the "time and place" of the historic meeting between Kim and Trump have yet to be decided.
Earlier, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said the country has made 'zero concessions' for advancing talks and would need 'concrete and verifiable actions' regarding de-nuclearisation in order for the meeting of the two leaders to go ahead.
Thursday night saw the biggest development in the ongoing US-North Korea tension, when the leader of a South Korean delegation, Chung Eui-yong, said Kim Jong Un was "committed to denuclearisation" and "expressed an eagerness to meet President Trump as soon as possible".
A meeting between Kim and Trump, who have exchanged bellicose insults in the past year that have raised fear of war, would be a major turnaround after a year in which North Korea has carried out a battery of tests aimed at developing a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the US mainland.
Earlier Thursday, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that though 'talks about talks' might be possible with Pyongyang, denuclearization negotiations were likely a long way off.
Japanese Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said in response to the announcement in Washington that North Korea must commit to abandoning nuclear development completely in order for meaningful talks to take place with Pyongyang.
Meanwhile, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said on Friday he confirmed in telephone talks with US President Donald Trump that the international community needed to continue to put maximum pressure on North Korea.
"We welcome the change in North Korea's stance", Abe said, indicating Pyongyang was ready to start discussions on the premise of denuclearisation.
