What did Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un discuss at the Singapore summit?
It was the first time a sitting US President has ever met a North Korean leader.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US would only accept "complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearisation" - but would offer "unique" security guarantees, that would provide North Korea with "certainty... that denuclearisation is not something that ends badly for them".
It's possible that a formal end to the Korean war may also be discussed.
The 1950-3 conflict ended with a truce rather than a final peace treaty.
But Trump said that would likely be the "easy part" - with the matter of denuclearisation the most serious item on the agenda.
Kim vowed to destroy all his nukes following the Singapore summit with Trump saying the process would start "very quickly" on the denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
Speaking of the meeting, Donald Trump said it had gone "better than anyone could have expected".

He told reporters: "It is a tremendous honour, and I have no doubt we will have a terrific relationship."
Kim Jong-un said, in Korean: “The old prejudices and practices worked as obstacles on our way forward, but we’ve overcome all of them, and we are here today", to which Trump replied "that's true".
Kim added: "There were moments when we covered our ears and eyes, but we have overcome them to arrive here."

Who attended the meeting?
The two leaders met for a 41 minute one-on-one talk - away from the prying eyes of the world's media and the diplomacy of their advisers.
However, language barriers mean that two interpreters will also be present at the meeting.
The summit will be held at a hotel on Sentosa, a popular tourist island a few hundred metres off the Singapore mainland, at 9am local time (2am UK time) on June 12, 2018.
After the one-to-one, Kim and Trump will head to an expanded meeting with other representatives and a working lunch.
Also present was Kim's younger sister Kim Yo-jong.
John Bolton, Trump's National Security Adviser, was also present.
