Watch the moment Trump and Kim Jong Un share a historic handshake at Singapore summit

• Trump and Kim Jong Un share a historic handshake.
• A sitting US president has never met a North Korean leader.
• The pair also signed a "comprehensive" joint statement.

US President Donald Trump predicted that he and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will have "a terrific relationship" as they met face to face for the first time on Tuesday.

Trump said after meeting Kim that he is feeling "really great."

"We're going to have a great discussion and a terrific relationship."

Kim said through an interpreter that it "was not easy to get here" and that there "were obstacles but we overcame all of it and we are here today."

The two leaders are expected to meet on their own for the better part of an hour, with only a pair of interpreters in the room.

That decision has raised concerns about the risk of holding such a monumental meeting with barely anyone to bear witness.
