Mr Trump met Kim in Singapore in a bid to persuade the North Korean dictator to give up his country’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
The pair met again in Vietnam and on the Korean border the following year.
However North Korea refused to give up its nuclear weapons and talks later collapsed.
President Trump also caused controversy by praising Kim, who runs North Korea as a communist dictatorship.
During a rally in Wheeling Mr Trump said he and Kim “fell in love” and praised the North Korean letter for sending him “beautiful” letters.
Earlier this year the United States offered North Korea help fighting coronavirus but this was not taken up.
North Korea has yet to officially report any COVID-19 cases.
However, in July Kim admitted the deadly disease “could have entered” the country.
The North Korean city of Kaesong was put into lockdown in the same month for three weeks.
