They are set to sign a “joint agreement” on Thursday, although the White House has not yet revealed what the signing ceremony will involve.

Here's Kim Jong-un answering a question about a nuclear deal.
As Donald Trump says "no rush" on an agreement with North Korea, Kim Jong-un pledges to "make every effort" for a "positive result" in nuclear talks.
The US president repeatedly said "speed is not that important to me," and that the aim is "to do the right deal".
Trump added: "I appreciate [North Korea] not testing nuclear missiles ... we had a very good talk about that last night."
In a speech to press full of praise for Kim Jong-un and North Korea, Donald Trump has said: "When you have a good relationship a lot of good things happen ... I know we're going to have a fantastic success with Chairman Kim and North Korea ... I think it's going to be an economic power house and its something i very much look forward to helping with."
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un are currently holding a joint press conference.
Intelligence experts say North Korea has only sought to advance its nuclear ambitions under Donald Trump, who has “undermined his negotiators routinely” throughout behind-the-scenes conversations ahead of this week’s summit.

Last night Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un had a 'social' dinner at the Metropole Hotel in Hanoi.
Curious about what they ate? The two leaders dined on a fairly lavish - if traditional - shrimp cocktail starter, grilled sirloin steak and chocolate lava cake.
Not that we'd ever dream of patronising you, but just in case you're getting a little confused with timings, Hanoi is 7 house ahead of the UK. That means 12 hours ahead of EST. That means it's fairly early in the morning in Vietnam, with Trump and Kim due to have their next meeting imminently.
"We’re going to have a very busy day tomorrow." That's what Donald Trump said last night in Hanoi.
So what can we expect over the next 24 hours in Vietnam?
The pair will have a series of meetings beginning at 9am (9pm EST, 2am GMT), followed by a 'working lunch'. A signing ceremony is then scheduled for 2pm local time (that's 2am ET, 7amGMT), although we still don't know what they'll be signing.
North Korean state media KCNA has said the two leaders had overcome "mistrust, misunderstanding, hostility and old practices" and that "this period required lots of deep thinking, effort and patience than ever before".
This reported change of heart may suggest US officials think fully denuclearising North Korea is currently out of the question.
Current and former senior US officials say North Korea no longer needs to agree to disclose a full accounting of its nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs as part of talks in Hanoi, NBC News has reported.
BREAKING: The US is no longer demanding North Korea must agree to divulge a full accounting of its nuclear program ahead of talks with Donald Trump, reports say.
In case you missed it, the White House barred four reporters from covering the Trump and Kim's dinner. Journalists from Bloomberg, the Associated Press, The LA Times and Reuters who are all part of the White House press pool were blocked from covering the dinner.
Donald Trump have already had a one-on-one meeting during their second nuclear summit - but of course they're not technically one-on-one. The only other people present were their respective interpreters.
President Trump's translator was Yun-hyang Lee, the US State Department's division chief for interpreting services, who also translated for the president at his first meeting with Kim last year in Singapore.
As a new day begins in Vietnam, the world's attention is not on this historic meeting. At almost any other time Trump's summit with Kim Jong-un would have been an international spectacle, a grand show of diplomacy between the US and North Korea. But the trip has been upstaged.
Michael Cohen gave an explosive testimony to the US House Oversight Committee. Trump's former lawyer called the president a "conman", and "a racist", as well as discussing a criminal conspiracy involving the president, Donald Trump Jr, and the chief financial officer of the Trump Organisation, Allen Weisselberg.
In case you missed it, you can catch up on what happened at the testimony here:
Here's a clip the White House shared of Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-un:
The next major thing to watch at this historical summit is the one-on-one bilateral meeting between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un. It is scheduled to take place at 9am local time (that's 2am GMT, or 9pm EST).
