'The world has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe' - President Trump says of his meeting with Kim Jung-un

 

 

President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation from Kim Jong Un to visit North Korea during their historic summit as the US president said the world had jumped back from the brink of “nuclear catastrophe”.

Tuesday’s unprecedented encounter in Singapore saw both leaders shake hands as they stood as equals in front of their nations’ flags. In a characteristically bullish tweet, Trump said the first-ever summit between sitting leaders of the two Cold War foes meant “the World has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe!”

“No more rocket launches, nuclear testing or research! The hostages are back home with their families. Thank you to Chairman Kim, our day together was historic!” he said.

I want to thank Chairman Kim for taking the first bold step toward a bright new future for his people. Our unprecedented meeting – the first between an American President and a leader of North Korea – proves that real change is possible! pic.twitter.com/yF3iwD23YQ

A year ago the pundits & talking heads, people that couldn’t do the job before, were begging for conciliation and peace - “please meet, don’t go to war.” Now that we meet and have a great relationship with Kim Jong Un, the same haters shout out, “you shouldn’t meet, do not meet!”
