The two world leaders were photographed together on the steps of the Capella Hotel in Sentosa, a tiny island off Singapores southern coast. This marks the first time that a sitting U.S. president has met with a North Korean leader.

Shortly after a working lunch with their aides, Trump and Kim appeared before reporters just before 1 p.m. local time. The U.S. president said the meetings were going great.

I think better than anybody couldve expected, Trump said. Top of the line, really good.

He then said the pair were heading to a signing, although he did not elaborate what kind of document they had formulated, if any. When pressed by a reporter, he said they would make an announcement later in the day.
