What happened at President Trump’s Singapore summit with Kim Jong Un? (Jenny Town)

Though it only includes 393 words, the signed agreement that resulted from President Donald Trump’s June 12 meeting with North Korean leader  Kim Jong Un in Singapore was hailed as a big win by both sides. The President tweeted the day after the summit that there was “no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea” and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the administration expected “major disarmament” by Kim’s military before the end of Trump’s first term, as reported in the Washington Post. North Korean state media also hailed the meeting as a major victory, describing a “step-by-step and simultaneous” process aimed at achieving peace and “denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.” But where do the U.S. and North Korea actually stand in the effort to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula? On this week’s TrumpWatch, Jesse talks to Jenny Town, a research analyst at the Stimson Center and managing editor of 38 North.
