Scott Morrison has heaped praise on US President Donald Trump for trying to strike a deal with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to denuclearise the Korean peninsula.

After the two leaders failed to reach an agreement during a two-day summit in Vietnam last week, the prime minister said achieving denuclearisation in North Korea was a difficult task.

"His determination to keep pressing forward - there will be frustrations - but I really commend his heartfelt commitment to try and make some progress in this area," Mr Morrison told reporters in Sydney on Monday.
