PunkTheFunk 125,733 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 Singapore (CNN)US President Donald Trump shook the hand of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un Tuesday morning local time, an extraordinary display of diplomacy that reflects an unprecedented gamble for two brash leaders' intent on making their mark on history. The men greeted each other with extended hands in front of a row of US and North Korean flags -- a previously unthinkable sight that reflects a new chapter in the two countries' acrimonious relationship. Later, Trump said his historic summit with Kim was going "very, very good" and predicted an eventual agreement on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons. "Excellent relationship," he said as he emerged from one-on-one talks after 48 minutes. "Working together, we'll get it taken care of," Trump said, positing he could "solve a big problem, a big dilemma" alongside his new partner. Earlier, Trump patted Kim on the back and placed his hand on the North Korean's shoulder as they walked into their meeting. "I feel really great. We'll have a great discussion," Trump said at the beginning of the talks. "This will be tremendously successful," he continued. "We will have a terrific relationship." Speaking through an interpreter, Kim alluded to the longstanding enmity between his country and the United States. "It has not been easy to come to this point," Kim said, according to a CNN translation of his remarks. "For us the past has been holding us back, and old practices and prejudices have been covering our eyes and ears, but we have been able to overcome everything to arrive here today." Trump nodded in agreement. The meeting comes only months after the two men traded nuclear taunts, ratcheting up tensions and leading to fears of war. Trump hopes the talks with the rogue kingdom's despotic leader will amount to a historic breakthrough. Whether nuclear disarmament is indeed the outcome of Tuesday's summit won't be known for years, if not decades. But the dramatic act of extending his hand to one of America's longtime adversaries will forever illustrate Trump's gut-driven, norm-shattering tenure. https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/11/politics/trump-kim-summit-singapore/index.html ___ ORIGINAL POST: US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are poised to meet for an unprecedented summit on Tuesday aimed at defusing tensions on the Korean peninsula. No sitting US president has ever met a North Korean leader. Mr Trump has said the highly anticipated talks represent a "one-time shot" at peace. The meeting marks a dramatic shift in relations between the pair, who last year traded insults and threats of war. Washington hopes the summit will kick-start a process that eventually leads to denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula. The summit will be held at a hotel on Sentosa, a popular tourist island a few hundred metres off the Singapore mainland, at 09:00 local time (01:00 GMT). Heavy security and armed police are standing guard at summit-related venues across the city state. In his latest tweet, hours before the summit was due to begin, Mr Trump attacked his critics who have been arguing that the US president should not be meeting the North Korean leader. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-44435035 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItsTommyBitch 12,640 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 You used such a bad picture of Kim, it's like that facebook profile photo he hasn't changed in 8 years of him at a wedding or execution or something Fr though, they are meeting alone right? This is such a bad idea, Trump is a literal idiot and Kim is wildly erratic, they are either gonna make out, kill each other, Trump will sell the U.S. to North Korea, Putin will come out from some corner in the middle of the meeting, hell will open up, they'll make a nefarious deal, who the **** knows. Anything other than a rational, civilized discussion is likely 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
