Trump and Kim in historic talks
Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un have become the first US president and North Korean leader shook hands at a luxury hotel in Singapore’s Sentosa island before proceeding to talks after a year of exchanging threats. The two leaders walked towards each other and firmly gripped each others hands in front of US and North Koran flags. Mr Trump patted Mr Kim’s arm as they stood on red carpet and exchanged a few words before turning to face the gathered press.. The two men, accompanied only by interpreters, spoke for 40 minutes and were then joined by small delegations of advisors for a working lunch.
Mr Trump said “ a lot of progress” was made, and said he would soon attend a signing ceremony with Mr Kim.
They have been discussing defusing tensions and nuclear disarmament.
