motion at their historic meeting here could play out for decades. after roughly five hours of talks, the two leaders agreed to complete denuclearization of the korean peninsula. what exactly that means is still unknown and president trump is already taking some criticism for getting too little and giving too weave fox team coverage, greg palkot in seoul, south korea, with reaction there, but we start with chief white house correspondent john roberts on the summit and what comes next. good morning, john. good morning to you, chris. to hear president trump tele, the next app he hopes is that m jong un will start tearing down the nuclear program he just spent billions building. but the president s critics doubt this new relationship will ever pay off. it was a moment for the history books. the first time a sitting u.s. president has met with the leader of north korea. the road to get here was a long one. we will have a terrific
be. here was president trump afterwards at his news conference continuing to make his pitch. i said look a that, wouldn t that make a great condo? and i explained, instead of doing that, you can have the best hotels in the world right. think of it from a real estate perspective. you have south korea, you have china, and they own the land in the middle. chris: i have to say i kind of enjoyed president trump returning to his roots as a w york real estate developer. your thoughts about that? there really is something about the united states having excellent exports of economic freedom, rule of law, individual liberty. these are things that are good for people, they are good for countries and i think this video was about showing the north koreans that there is a new approach that they could take, that there is a different path that they could be on, and it is true that country sometimes choose to take different paths. you just mention reagan and gorbachev having meetings.
singapore summit, the 132nd handshake between president trump and kim jong un on, the first time the leaders of the two countries have ever met and we are back now with our panel. let s start with a handshake and with president trump saying to kim it s a great honor to be with you. your thoughts? appearing on this same stage legitimate kim jong un. my sense was you consider this in its entirety, this was a net plus for the united states. also, this is the way donald trump talks. when he lays the flattery on somebody, maybe this wasn t appropriate here, but when he s trying to get something out of someone he lays all sorts of flattery on them, and that s what he did throughout in his public appearances with kim. chris: president trump said
