North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump have gone from making war threats to each other to being friendly. It was the first meeting between the two countries on the island of Sentosa in Singapore. Trump has declared that they are achieving a “very special relationship” and Jong-un has described the signed agreement as “historic.” "The world will see a big change," says the North Korean.

The declaration that they have signed has two main axes. On the one hand, North Korea has promised to carry out the denuclearization of the peninsula. And on the other hand, the United States is committed to providing “security assurances” to North Korea. They also discussed the Korean War (1950-1953), agreeing to recover the remains of prisoners of war and those who disappeared during that period.

The agreement states that U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet “as soon as possible” with a high-ranking North Korean official to continue the negotiation. The negotiations will focus on “the commitment to forge new relations between the United States and North Korea in accordance with the aspirations for peace and prosperity of both countries,” “to join efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean peninsula,” or “to reaffirm the Panmunjon Declaration” made by Pyongyang, committing to denuclearization.

Shortly after the signing of the agreement, Trump has declared that the denuclearization process will begin “in the short term” and has announced that the United States will suspend “war games” on the Korean peninsula, I am and that the sanctions imposed on North Korea will remain intact. With regard to its military deployment throughout South Korea, he said that he did not intend to restrict it for the time being.
