The White House also confirms that President Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un will hold a one-on-one meeting, with only translators present.

The outcome may determine the fate of North Korea's nuclear programme.

The US insists it will accept nothing less than complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

North Korea has said it is willing to commit to denuclearisation, but that term is open to interpretation.

It is also unclear what concessions Pyongyang could demand in return - which makes the summit very hard to predict, according to analysts....

Wouldn’t ending the Korean War have to go through thr UN?

Not at all. Just needs the two sides to sign an agreement. The Useless Nations has no say in it at all.

They have no concept.

It’s amazing! Just a few short years ago, I thought this country was done. I marvel at how quickly President Trump managed to turn so much of it around.

For 41 minutes, the two men spoke directly to each other, their exchange filtered only by interpreters – in a feat of diplomacy and political theatre that set aside decades of historical acrimony.

Jumping onto the Trump-Kim summit bandwagon was Royal Plaza on Scotts, which gave away 250 mini Trump-Kim burgers at noon......The hotel's general manager Patrick Garcia Fiat told The Straits Times that the giveaway was held on the same day as the summit "to celebrate the summit and allow people to enjoy the friendship" while eating.

And look what was even before this meeting....three hostages brought home, open dialogue where there was none, invitations for two summits from foreign leaders, ....before anything was signed!
