SINGAPORE - US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed a "comprehensive" document at the end of their summit in Singapore on Tuesday (June 12), as a once unthinkable meeting between foes appears to have yielded progress.

Yet, in what is becoming a signature move from the American president, the specific substance of the deal was left mysterious - awaiting a later reveal at a press conference.

Still, both leaders - who appeared to have developed a rapport over the course of a morning filled with remarkable political theatre - touted the agreement as a significant stride forward.

Mr Kim, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission, said: "Today we had a very historic meeting, overcoming our past history and embarking on a new beginning...the world will see a major change."

Mr Trump, in turn, said a turning point had been reached in the long fraught US-North Korea relationship. "We're both going to do something, and we've developed a very special bond...we're going to take care of a very big and dangerous problem for the rest of the world.

"It worked out far better for both of us than anybody could have expected," he added.

When asked about denuclearisation, he said "we are starting the process very quickly", but did not give any detail.
