Trump says Kim promised to destroy a missile engine testing site
President Trump says Kim Jong Un told him that North Korea is destroying a major missile engine testing site.
“North Korea is already destroying a major missile engine testing site,” Trump said.
The commitment was not included in the joint declaration the two men signed, but Trump said: “We agreed to that after the agreement was signed.”
Trump also outlined the agreement that he and Kim signed earlier. He said Kim reaffirmed “his unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.”
“We also agreed to vigorous negotiations to implement the agreement as soon as possible,” the President said.
Trump said Kim “wants to do that.”
President Trump is speaking to the press after his summit with Kim Jong Un in Singapore. He took the stage after a well-produced video about Kim’s unique chance at changing North Korea’s path forward.
Trump said it was “a tape” that was given to Kim’s representatives and it “captures a lot. It captures what can be done.”
Trump said that the day was spent with “very intensive hours” with Kim that resulted in a “comprehensive document.” He says that he delivered a message of “hope… and peace.”
