Trump says Kim meetings went 'better than anyone could imagine,' gives Kim a tour of his presidential limo
After their 38-minute one-on-one meeting in Singapore Tuesday morning, President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un sat down for a meeting where they were each flanked by advisers, and after that meeting, the delegations adjourned to a lunch of beef short rib confit, sweet and sour crispy pork, and braised codfish. Before sitting down, Trump made a joke that seemed to wink at his and Kim's physiques, asking the Singaporean state TV camera crew: "Getting a good picture, everybody? So we look nice and handsome and thin?" The White House press pool and other U.S. media were excluded, in breach of longstanding protocol.
