The Dhaka Times Desk Various analyzes are available in the international media about the Trump-Kim Singapore meeting. Who actually won the Trump-Kim meeting? Analyzing who progressed and how far.
After the historic talks and signing of the agreement with Kim Jong Un in Singapore, US President Donald Trump said that the meeting went so well that no one expected. However, many analysts termed the one-and-a-half-page signed document as ``vague and without substance''.
Donald Trump says North Korea has agreed to destroy a missile test site.
"We've been told it will," said BBC analyst Laura Bicker. So maybe we'll just have to ``let's see what happens'' – as President Donald Trump often says.
Donald Trump received a promise from the leader of North Korea to fully denuclearize.
Laura Bicker says, 'There are some important words missing here. One is ``reversible'' – that is, denuclearization in such a way that North Korea cannot regain nuclear capability in the future. Another is ``verifiable'' - that is, by verifying the evidence, it must be confirmed that yes, it really happened. America was pushing for it. But this word is not in the one and a half page document.'
Donald Trump revealed some details that were not in the documents at the press conference and said that Kim Jong Un has agreed to give up nuclear weapons so that it can be verified.
Maybe one day in the future Donald Trump will get the denuclearized North Korea he wants. But he still hasn't got it - says the BBC's Laura Bicker.
Kim Jong Un has told Trump he will return the bodies of prisoners of war in his hands. For their relatives who live in the United States, this is, however, a bit of a relief.
Donald Trump has promised that he will no longer conduct military exercises with South Korea in the area. Kim Jong Un called these exercises provocative. Now Trump is saying the same, and saying that they are too expensive.
Some analysts have termed this pledge as a 'US concession'.
However, Donald Trump said that the sanctions on North Korea are still not fully lifted. If Kim is seen to be keeping the promise, it will be lifted later. He also said that he did not make any concessions.
So who is the 'win-win' here - that is, do both sides win? Or just won Kim Jong Un? That question is on everyone's mind!
