After hours of discussions, Trump and Kim signed an agreement committing the United States to unspecified “security guarantees” in exchange for a denuclearized Korean Peninsula. The document also lacked details on the timeline or nature of denuclearization.

Trump has touted the deal as a sweeping success, and claimed North Korea no longer poses a nuclear threat to the world.

While some U.S. and foreign officials have praised the meeting as a good first step, others have lamented that Trump offered several concessions while receiving little in return. The president has also received criticism for heaping praise on Kim, who is accused of committing numerous human rights violations.
