Trump-Kim summit: Leaders sign 'comprehensive' document; Kim says world will see major change

SINGAPORE - US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a "comprehensive" document at the end of their summit in Singapore on Tuesday (June 12), as a once unthinkable meeting between foes appears to have yielded progress.

Yet, in what is becoming a signature move from the American president, the specific substance of the deal was left mysterious - awaiting a later reveal at a press conference.

Still, both leaders - who appeared to have developed a rapport over the course of a morning filled with remarkable political theatre - touted the agreement as a significant stride forward.

Mr Kim, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, said: "Today we had a very historic meeting, overcoming our past history and embarking on a new beginning...the world will see a major change."

Mr Trump, in turn, said a turning point had been reached in the long fraught US-North Korea relationship. "We're both going to do something, and we've developed a very special bond...we're going to take care of a very big and dangerous problem for the rest of the world.

"It worked out far better for both of us than anybody could have expected," he added.

When asked about denuclearisation, he said "we are starting the process very quickly", but did not give any detail.

Yes. I cannot wait for the shoe to drop on the maggots that have been messing with him from the DOJ, FBI, State Department and the rest of the alphabets


Making prediction is always risky, but I have a feeling it will be coming soon. President Trump has been getting his ducks in a row.

The economy is moving in the right direction, two years of 24/7 hate has not separated him from his base, the changes in the courts shows we are winning again, his relation with blacks improving and the Mueller investigation has shown that there was collusion, but not by Trump, but by the Democrats, DOJ and FBI attempt a Coup d’etat.

The Democrats have nothing (other then the lapdog media)to use against the President.

The time is fast approaching to bring these criminals up before the bench to face some serious charges.

The Kims are criminals. You can’t reason or negotiate with criminals. They have been brutally oppressing that “country” since 1948 and they are not going to stop. They are thieves, liars and murderers.

I’m not sure he should have tweeted everything that he has tweeted in the way he has tweeted it.

LOL!

After 3 years of Trump getting his message directly out to the public and some people still don't get it.

Hmmm..... how wrong you are. The president has put your thoughts to the lie.

Potus reasoned with Kim and the result was change

Well, If rocketman decides to try an roll Trump, he will find the sanctions back in place. Those are the things that forced him into this. It was not done out of kindness.

“What North Korea government wanted most was the promise to not be deposed. Trump has guaranteed this if North Korea transitions to a state similar to.Singapore.”

Yeh, the discussion between Kim and Lee Hsien Loong would have been interesting to sit in on for sure. I’m guessing Kim quizzed Lee extensively about the Singapore model of governance, most specifically how Lee’s family has managed to retain power all these years...

Kim took zero concrete action to our benefit. He made promises for action later. This is a pattern that just gets repeated over and over.

By falling for this we further encourage China to aggression in the South China Sea.
