“If I had not been elected president of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with North Korea,” Trump said. Trump met Kim in Singapore on June 12 in the first summit between a sitting US president and a North Korean leader. It has also been used as a model of economic and political reform for impoverished and isolated North Korea to follow.

North Korea has repeatedly urged a lifting of punishing US-led sanctions, a formal end to the war, and security guarantees.
