President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a document on Tuesday stating that Pyongyang would work toward "complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula"— a historic concession, which was one of the requirements the U.S. sought at the summit in Singapore.
The historic agreement came after the two leaders held several meetings throughout the day. Trump was asked by a reporter if Kim agreed to denuclearize and he said, “We are starting that process very quickly.”
....
“We will continue with our current military posture until we receive updated guidance from the Department of Defense and/or Indo-Pacific Command,” Carroll said.
Trump appeared optimistic at a press conference after Kim had left the island.
Trump told reporters that the remains of U.S. prisoners of war and those missing in action during the Korean War will also be returned.
Trump said he asked Kim to commit to returning the remains "and we got it."
The president said he has received "countless calls" and letters from family members asking him to help them receive the remains of their loved ones.
A reporter asked Trump if he would be willing to invite Kim to the White House and he responded, “Absolutely I would.”
If this is true, then that's great news. We'll see if they follow through.
That's my take on it too. I think it's an historic achievement, but I reserve any judgement of making progress until real results happen.
I'll repeat what I said in an earlier thread.
Watching Kim Jong-un moseying around Singapore, being cheered and applauded like some kind of celebrity is beyond disturbing. How quickly people forget that this man is the leader of a regime that has well documented and long records of shocking human rights abuses. Just shocking.
I welcome any positive breakthroughs that may arise from the meeting that involve progress towards denuclearisation but I do not support turning a blind eye to the suffering he is inflicting on his own people.

It appears history is being made. For the first time a sitting US president met with the leader of NK and at this time there appears to be promising results and a focus on peace. I don't think we should make major judgements until it's proven that NK has denuclearized, but even so this is a major feat in US diplomacy and a step towards peace in a decades long conflict.
They still don't. Hell, they'll figure some way to say we lost. Or, that Trump blew it....they can't stand any success from him, or for AmericaAnd who would have ever thought that Donald Trump would've done this?
Deal making requires parties to butter each other up. Who knows what Un has said about Trump? Maybe that Trump knows his way around a set of chopsticks? Similar type of nebulous statement(s) like the ones you've taken offense that Trump or someone else has uttered.I'll repeat what I said in an earlier thread.

Haven't heard much on it yet but if th OP is accurate, then we are well on the way to a historic achievement

The US and N.Korea signed an identical document in 1993 under Clinton.
But hey, the murderous tyrant Kim has been treated like a rock star in the past few days, so it's a win for him.
This agreement includes no specific dates, no specific timetable, and no specific agreements on verification or on the arrival of inspectors.
Donald Trump said in his press conference that he wasn’t able to get that detail. That is an extraordinary concession. It proves that for all of his much-vaunted negotiating prowess he hasn’t be able to solidify something that most sober-minded observers would say is essential.

Different KIM, right?
It's absolutely hilarious the hypocrisy surrounding this whole DPRK thing. Iran not only signed some document committing to a program that prevents them from coming close to nuclear weapons - they actually did it. Yet somehow that was a bad deal. Trump flies over to meet with a tin pot dictator who signs a meaningless letter saying he'll "commit" to denuclearlization - after their nuclear facility collapsed, of course - and it's a "historic achievement" despite this happening in the past already. Meanwhile every single conservative in this thread were rabid when Obama mentioned that he might speak with Kim.
