The White House released a joint statement from President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un after Tuesday’s summit in Singapore. Here is what it said:

President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a first, historic summit in Singapore on June 12, 2018.

President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un conducted a comprehensive, in-depth, and sincere exchange of opinions on the issues related to the establishment of new U.S.–DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK, and Chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Convinced that the establishment of new U.S.–DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean Peninsula and of the world, and recognizing that mutual confidence building can promote the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un state the following:

The United States and the DPRK commit to establish new U.S.–DPRK relations in accordance with the desire of the peoples of the two countries for peace and prosperity. The United States and the DPRK will join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. Reaffirming the April 27, 2018 Panmunjom Declaration, the DPRK commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. The United States and the DPRK commit to recovering POW/MIA remains, including the immediate repatriation of those already identified.

Having acknowledged that the U.S.–DPRK summit — the first in history — was an epochal event of great significance in overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening up of a new future, President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong Un commit to implement the stipulations in this joint statement fully and expeditiously. The United States and the DPRK commit to hold follow-on negotiations, led by the U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, and a relevant high-level DPRK official, at the earliest possible date, to implement the outcomes of the U.S.–DPRK summit.

President Donald J. Trump of the United States of America and Chairman Kim Jong Un of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea have committed to cooperate for the development of new U.S.–DPRK relations and for the promotion of peace, prosperity, and security of the Korean Peninsula and of the world.</s>North Korean leader Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his commitment to "complete denuclearisation of Korean Peninsula ", in a joint agreement signed with President Donald Trump Tuesday.The text made no mention of US demands for "complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation" -- jargon for scrapping weapons and committing to inspections -- but did restate a vaguer commitment, AFP saw in a photo of the document.</s>SINGAPORE — The most tangible outcome of Tuesday's summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared to be a commitment to recover the remains of U.S. military personnel missing in action and presumed dead from the Korean War.

In a joint statement signed by the leaders, the countries committed to the recovery of the remains and the immediate repatriation of those already identified.

The statement was otherwise filled with vague aspirational vows for peace and the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Washington and Pyongyang agreed to hold follow-up talks at the "earliest possible date" between U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a relevant high North Korean official.

Nearly 7,800 U.S. troops remain unaccounted for from the 1950-53 war. About 5,300 were lost in North Korea.

It's debatable whether North Korea's commitment to recovering U.S. war remains could count as a major win for Washington when Pyongyang would be simply returning to what it had been doing for years. Between 1996 and 2005, joint U.S.-North Korea military search teams conducted 33 joint recovery operations and recovered 229 sets of American remains.

But efforts to recover and return the remains have been stalled for more than a decade because of the North's development of nuclear weapons and U.S. claims that the safety of recovery teams it sent during the administration of President George W. Bush was not sufficiently guaranteed.

According to the Pentagon's Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, most of the missing Americans died in major battles or as prisoners of war. Others died along the wayside or in small villages. Many of the losses from aircraft crashes also occurred near battle zones or roads connecting them.

North Korea and the United States remain technically at war because the fighting ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. Washington officially broke off the program because it claimed the safety of its searchers was not guaranteed, though the North's first nuclear test, in 2006, was likely a bigger reason. Critics of the program also argued the North was using the deal to squeeze cash out of Washington, calling it "bones for bucks."</s>Kim Jong un has agreed to work towards dumping his country’s nuclear weapons in a document joint-signed with Donald Trump.

The agreement has four points, with the third stating that ‘the DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) commits to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.’

It futher sees the US and North Korea agree to ‘establish new relations’, and ‘join their efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime on the Korean Peninsula.’

The final point on the document calls for North Korea to work with the US in helping them recover the remains of prisoners of war and those missing in action – including immediately repatriating any bodies which have already been identified.

It was signed by Trump and Kim shortly after they met privately and with their respective administrations, with the paperwork stipulating that Kim has ‘reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.’

North Korea was told that Trump would ‘provide security guarantees,’ with both sides agreeing that the meeting was an ‘epochal event.’

It explained that the meeting had ‘great significance in overcoming decades of tensions and hostilities between the two countries and for the opening up of a new future.’</s>WASHINGTON—U.S. foreign policy analysts on Tuesday said the U.S. appeared to have given away more than it had received in return in talks between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, and took note of the lack of details in the joint communiqué the two men signed.

“Did you really need a summit to get this document?” asked Victor Cha, a Georgetown University professor and North Korea expert once under consideration by the Trump administration for ambassador to South Korea, on MSNBC.

Between 1996 and 2005 joint U.S.-North Korea military search teams conducted over 30 recovery missions and recovered 229 sets of American remains.

The recovery missions ended as the safety of American recovery teams couldn’t be guaranteed and North Korea conducted its first nuclear test in 2006.
