Its a moment I will not forget...what a time to live!

Wouldn’t ending the Korean War have to go through thr UN?

Not at all. Just needs the two sides to sign an agreement. The Useless Nations has no say in it at all.

[CJ Wolf]

Yep. And with that sentiment, good night. History is made today.

CNN is so negative. They are now saying that Trump did not address N.Korea human rights - so Trump does not care.

They have no concept.

Mow they are saying that we have abandoned our alies in s.korea and japan

[bob_esb]

CNN is now say that Kim is a rockstar with the Sing people.

Oh my god

Its a moment I will not forget...what a time to live!

It’s amazing! Just a few short years ago, I thought this country was done. I marvel at how quickly President Trump managed to turn so much of it around.

For 41 minutes, the two men spoke directly to each other, their exchange filtered only by interpreters – in a feat of diplomacy and political theatre that set aside decades of historical acrimony.

Better than I had even hoped for in this first meeting!!

Jumping onto the Trump-Kim summit bandwagon was Royal Plaza on Scotts, which gave away 250 mini Trump-Kim burgers at noon......The hotel's general manager Patrick Garcia Fiat told The Straits Times that the giveaway was held on the same day as the summit "to celebrate the summit and allow people to enjoy the friendship" while eating.

do not watch bbc, cnn or msnbc. They are now saying this is a disaster for DT. That the US got nothing

[caww]

And look what was even before this meeting....three hostages brought home, open dialogue where there was none, invitations for two summits from foreign leaders, ....before anything was signed!
