US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met in Singapore on June 12 in a historic summit that could lead in bringing peace between the two nations.
The Trump Kim Summit is “going great. A really fantastic meeting. A lot of progress. Really very positive. I think better than anybody could have expected. Top of the line. Really good,” Trump told the press.
“I think the entire world is watching this moment. Many people in the world will think of this as a scene from a fantasy…science fiction movie,” Kim said to Trump’s translator.
“We overcame all kinds of scepticism and speculations about this summit and I believe that this is good for the peace…I believe this is a good prelude for peace,” said Kim
“It wasn’t easy for us to come here. There was a past that grabbed our ankles and wrong prejudices and practices that at times covered our eyes and ears. We overcame all that and we are here now,” he added.
“We will have a terrific relationship, I have no doubt,” Trump replied.
