Kim and Trump leave Singapore after their summit
- 6 years ago
Now we take things to Singapore.
The leaders of North Korea and the U.S. have both departed what was once a media-hyped summit location of the city-state on Tuesday,...
And that is where our Lee Ji-won joins us live.
Jiwon,... both leaders have left, we know Kim Jong-un should have arrived in Pyongyang,... but we have yet to receive any confirmation on Trump's touch-down in Washington.
Yes, in fact U.S. President Donald Trump,… even before landing in his home country,… tweeted about the summit with his North Korean counterpart about an hour ago.
His tweet reads, "the world has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe No more rocket launches, nuclear testing or research "
And he also thanked "Chairman Kim", saying their "day together was historic."
And as for the departures,... Semin, North Korea's Kim Jong-un left Singapore at around 11:20 PM yesterday,... and he is expected to have arrived in North Korea this morning.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump left about 30 minutes earlier than expected, at 6-thirty local time, on his Air Force One, from the Paya Lebar Airbase, just as he came into the city state.
On his plane, Trump talked with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at around 8-twenty to share the results of the Joint Statement with North Korea.
He is known to have stopped over at airbases in Guam and Hawaii to encourage U.S. forces and is expected to arrive at the White House sometime Wednesday morning.
Ji-won, you briefly mentioned the Joint Statement, which is the outcome of this June 12th summit.
Can you tell us more about it.
Sure Semin. The weeks and months of talks North Korea and the United States had over the issue of denuclearization and establishing ties,... came down to that statement. And although it's rather simple and short, it shows the two leaders' strong faith in each other.
It states that the two leaders conducted an in-depth and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of a new Pyongyang-Washington relationship,... as well as building a lasting and robust foundation that leads to peace on the Korean peninsula.
The major point of this summit was also concisely stipulated. U.S. President Donald Trump committed to providing security guarantees to North Korea, and conversely, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
Agreeing that the development and improvement in their bilateral ties will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, as well as recognizing that mutual confidence can promote the denuclearization of the peninsula, the two leaders signed on four clauses.
First, Pyongyang and Washington will commit to establish new relations in accordance with the desire of their respective peoples for achieving peace and prosperity.
Second, the two sides will join the efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime
