"I feel really great. We are going to have a great discussion and I think tremendous success. It will be tremendously successful. It's my honor. We will have a terrific relationship; I have no doubt." said President Donald Trump.
The joint statement, signed by the two leaders, has little detail on how and in what deadline the goals will be achieved, said Reuters. Experts recall that ten years ago there was talk of denuclearization on the peninsula, but that goal was never fulfilled. Today they think that the process will last for at least a decade, it will be expensive and will require the signing of a non-assault contracts between the two countries.
"The fact that both of them got to know each other and perhaps trust each other is good for future negotiations." said former New Mexico governor Bill Richardson.
