A president of the United Staes of America has finally met a North Korean leader after over 70 years of conflict and the US military’s occupation of the Korean Peninsula.
US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have met in Singapore on June 12.
In advance of the historic summit, American officials have dangled economic and security support of North Korea as a carrot for Pyongyang’s willingness to get rid of its nuclear arsenals and desires.
Trump has often spoken of North Korea’s huge “economic potential,” and said at the end of the summit that the “whole relationship with North Korea and the Korean Peninsula is going to be a very different situation than it has in the past.”
