Kim, Trump take a walk
Singapore June 12 (IANS) North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and US President Donald Trump on Tuesday took a walk around the Capella Hotel where the two leaders came face to face for the first time in history.
In a carefully choreographed encounter at around 9 a.m. Trump and Kim shared a 12-second handshake in the courtyard of the British-colonial style hotel against a backdrop of American and North Korean flags.
This was followed by a one-on-one meeting an expanded bilateral meeting and a working lunch.
After their walk Trump showed off his car - nicknamed The Beast - to Kim reports The Straits Times.
Kim and Trump will also sign a joint declaration that might put out a framework for additional talks reports The Washington Post.
Asked how the discussion went Trump said: "Very very good."
The summit which was almost scrapped by a mercurial Trump last month comes after a flurry of diplomatic activities and barrage of invective and insults traded between the US President and an equally aggressive Kim.
