[SassyLady]

[LongTermGuy]

PRICELESS!!Dennis Rodman, wearing a red MAGA hat, telling Chris Cuomo of CNN “This is a Great Day!”And Cuomo looking like he is about to BARF!

[SassyLady]

The signing table is set up with pens ready.

Still don't know what will be signed.

Pelosi is screaming about congressional oversight.

[SassyLady]

Something was signed. Don't know what exactly yet.

[SassyLady]

Liberal media pundits are feeling almost as bad as they did on election night. Calling him both a bully and a pussycat.

[LongTermGuy]

Liberals and never Trumpers are having a bad day....



"Smile for the camera Kim"

[LongTermGuy]

President Trump delivers!

[LongTermGuy]

"Next stop...IRAN...!"

[LongTermGuy]

Not one of these men voted for President Trump. But more importantly, not one of these men came close to peace across the Korean Peninsula. They had 40 years between them to do so. President Trump has gotten closer in just 18 months!

[LongTermGuy]

Trump basically made agreement with Kim that his economy will flourish with full support of China, as long as his nuclear program is officially & verifiable shut down.Trump delivered diplomacy opposed to pallets of tax payer cash (like Obama) to secure the deal of peace.

MEGA!

Wonder what they think now?

As about as successful as a first meeting can be. And signing on the dotted line agreeing to complete denuclearization is a great start.

Here's what they signed. As Jim and Sassy have stated, it is a start:

Joint Statement of President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea at the Singapore Summit

President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a first, historic summit in Singapore on June 12, 2018.


President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new US-DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.


Convinced that the establishment of new US-DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognizing that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un state the following:


The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new US-DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity.


The United States and DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.


Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula
The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.


Having acknowledged that the US-DPRK summit -- the first in history -- was an epochal event of great significance in overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening up of a new future, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un commit to implement the stipulations in the joint statement fully and expeditiously. The United States and the DPRK commit to hold follow-on negotiations, led by the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and a relevant high-level DPRK official, at the earliest possible date, to implement the outcomes of the US-DPRK summit.

There was talk that Kim wouldn't agree to such lengths on nuclear removal, so the fact that he's initially agreeing to full denuking, that's great. Doesn't mean squat until the actions start, but both appear to be going off with the right foot. I understand the USA/SK war games will instantly stop. And I also read that in the future, for Kim giving up nukes, we will give them some sort of protection guarantees. If both truly commit to these actions.... now they need to work on the Korean war and signing off on ending that stalemate.

I don't think NK is going to miraculously look like SK in a year from now - but if they do allow inspections and denuclearization, and diplomatic relations continue... this can be extremely historic. Hell, it's already historic.

I think this was a good decision. Don't fully pull anything back, but absolutely no reason to piss off the chubby guy at this point.

Trump catches everyone off guard with sudden decision to stop war games in Korea

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. will stop war games on the Korean Peninsula, following his landmark summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

“We will be stopping the war games,” Trump stated, calling the exercises “provocative.”

“Under the circumstances that we’re negotiating a very comprehensive complete deal I think it’s inappropriate to have war games,” the president said, revealing details of his discussions with Kim. “It is something that (North Korea) very much appreciated.”

“The war games are very expensive; we paid for a big majority of them, we fly in bombers from Guam,” Trump added. “That’s a long time for these big massive planes to be flying to South Korea to practice and then drop bombs all over the place and then go back to Guam. I know a lot about airplanes, it’s very expensive.”

The president did not stop at war games, CNN reported. He also announced that he wants to pull troops out of Korea.

“I want to get our soldiers out. I want to bring our soldiers back home,” Trump told reporters, explaining that this would not be an immediate change. “But, that’s not part of the equation right now. I hope it will be eventually.” There are around 30,000 U.S. troops stationed on the Korean Peninsula.

Who would have thunk we would see a NK leader on US soil, let alone the white house?

Trump says he will 'absolutely' invite Kim Jong Un to the White House

President Donald Trump told reporters Tuesday that he “absolutely” will invite North Korean Kim Jong Un to visit the White House.

Trump made his comments at a signing ceremony, during which the two leaders signed what Trump called a “comprehensive” and “historic” agreement, a document that offers North Korea an opportunity for improved relations and security guarantees in exchange for commitment to “the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” The president said that the denuclearization process will begin “very quickly.”

“He is a very worthy negotiator,” the president said of Kim, further remarking, “We’ll meet many times.” The Trump administration had previously stated that Tuesday’s summit is not a one-and-done deal, with various officials explaining that achieving the desired results will be a process.

He said that he will invite Kim to the White House at the “appropriate time,” further suggesting that Kim is open to such a visit to the U.S. Kim’s right-hand man Kim Yong Chol visited the U.S. earlier this month to become the first senior North Korean official to visit the White House in nearly two decades.
