North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Trump met in Singapore for a historic summit June 12 to discuss denuclearization and the possibility of North Korea entering the world marketplace and securing a better future for its people.
Trump also defended his decision to end military exercises with South Korea while talks with the North continue.
We save a fortune by not doing war games, as long as we are negotiating in good faith – which both sides are!
