It was an extraordinary moment. After months of threats and insults, the leaders of the U.S. and the DPRK shook hands and held talks in Singapore.

Afterwards they signed a joint statement. It said that Kim Jong Un is committed to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula while President Trump is committed to providing security guarantees to the DPRK. Both leaders said the summit is ushering in a new era in relations between their countries.
