TEHRAN, June 12 - US president Donald Trump met with North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un in Singapore.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump have arrived at the summit venue Singapore. The first meeting of the two leaders will discuss a peace treaty and denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Kim arrived first at the Capella Resort, on Singapore’s Sentosa Island, shortly before 9 am local time. He ignored the cameras, walking into the hotel with eyeglasses in hand. Trump followed a few minutes later, turning to face the cameras with a carefully neutral expression before he entered the venue.
The handshake of the two leaders before a row of US and North Korean flags took place at 9:04. Trump smiled and patted Kim on the back, ushering him towards the conference room. Trump said earlier he would know whether the summit would succeed within the first few minutes of meeting with Kim.
“We will have a great relationship, I have no doubt,” Trump said in a brief photo-op.
"Past practices and prejudices were obstacles on our way forward, but we overcame all of them and are here today," Kim said. “That’s true,” quipped Trump.
The two are scheduled to meet in private at first, accompanied only by their translators. After less than an hour, however, reporters were called in to take photos of a working lunch. White House chief of staff John Kelly, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and national security adviser John Bolton sat on Trump’s side of the table.
