Kim summit helped world avoid ‘nuclear catastrophe’: Trump

HONOLULU, June 13, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Donald Trump’s summit with North
Korean leader Kim Jong Un has helped bring the world back from “nuclear
catastrophe,” the US president said Tuesday.

“The World has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe!”
Trump tweeted.

“No more rocket launches, nuclear testing or research! The hostages are
back home with their families. Thank you to Chairman Kim, our day together
was historic!”

Trump and Kim met in Singapore on Tuesday — an unprecedented encounter
that saw the leader of the world’s most powerful democracy shake hands with
the third generation scion of a dynastic dictatorship, standing as equals in
front of their nations’ flags.

At the summit, Trump emphasized what North Korea has to gain by giving up
its nuclear weapons and rejoining the international community — a subject he
returned to on Twitter.

“There is no limit to what NoKo can achieve when it gives up its nuclear
weapons and embraces commerce & engagement w/ the world. Chairman Kim has
before him the opportunity to be remembered as the leader who ushered in a
glorious new era of security & prosperity for his citizens!” Trump wrote.

“I want to thank Chairman Kim for taking the first bold step toward a
bright new future for his people.”
