Singapore: US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met in Singapore on Tuesday in a historic US- North Korea summit that could lead to peace between the two countries that have technically been at war for 68 years or end in new recriminations.
The two leaders warmly shook hands for around 13 seconds in front of a row of alternating US and North Korean flags. They then moved into a roughly 40-minute one-on-one meeting, joined only by their interpreters before including their advisers for bilateral talks and then headed for a working lunch.
The meeting was the first time a serving US president sat down with the leader of North Korea, and came just months after fears of conflict soared as the two traded personal insults and threats of war.
