North Korea's Kim Jong Un met US President Donald Trump this morning in Singapore in a historic summit that marked the first meeting between a US President and North Korean leader. Donald Trump earlier labelled the highly anticipated talks as a "one-time shot" at peace. The meeting marks a dramatic shift in relations between the two nuclear armed countries, who last year traded insults and threats of war.
Washington hopes the summit will pave way for denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. However, both nations have sought to lower expectations for an immediate breakthrough. Donald Trump has described the summit as the first step in what could be a lengthy process, dangling the possibility of inviting the North Korean leader to the United States for a second meeting.

Trump says US won't have to front North Korea's denuclearization costs
When asked how the North Korean regime would be able to foot the bill for denuclearization while under sanctions, Trump suggested South Korea and Japan would be able to provide the financial assistance.

The US, Trump said, "won’t have to help them

Trump says North Koreans kept in prison camps are one of today's "great winners"
Responding to a question about the North Koreans being kept in what a reporter described as a "network of gulags," President Trump said that he "helped them" today, and they were one of the big winners from his talks with Kim Jong Un.

"I think I helped them," Trump said. "At a certain point I believe he is going to do things about it. I think they are one of the great winners today. That large group of people that you are talking about. I think they will be one of the great winners as a group."


Trump says he "gave up nothing" in talks with Kim Jong Un

President Trump defended himself from critics who say the United States is not getting anything out of his meeting with Kim Jong Un.

“The President has agreed to meet, he has given up so much,” he said, paraphrasing his critics.

"I gave up nothing. I’m here. I haven’t slept in 25 hours, but I thought it was appropriate to do,” he said.
Trump said the summit was “as good for the United States as it was for North Korea.”

“Yeah sure, they got a meeting,” Trump said, but “only a person that dislikes Donald Trump” would say he got nothing in exchange, citing Kim’s commitment to complete denuclearization, the return of the three American hostages, and the commitment to recover the remains of fallen American heroes.

He continued, “It’s not a big deal to meet. I think we should meet on a lot of different topics.”



Trump: Sanctions will be removed when nukes are "no longer a factor"

President Trump said Tuesday he would push for North Korea to denuclearize as "fast as it can mechanically," but acknowledged it could take a long time.

"Scientifically you have to wait certain periods of time," Trump said. "But once you start the process it means it’s pretty much over."

He said the process would start "very soon," and added sanctions would be removed "when we are sure the nukes are no longer a factor."

"I actually look forward to taking them off," he said, adding that would happen "down the road when nothing’s going to happen."


Trump says he's confident that Kim Jong Un will "live up to" the agreement

President Trump said he's confident that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un "will live up to" the document that they both signed.

"I don't think they have ever had the confidence in a president they have right now for getting things done and ability to get things done," Trump said.

"He was very firm in the fact that he wants to do this -- I think he might want to do this as much or even more than me. They see a bright future for North Korea. So you never know, right."
