President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un wrapped up their five-hour summit on Tuesday by signing a document side by side. "The letter that we're signing will be very comprehensive, and I think both sides will be happy with this," Trump said. "We have developed a very special bond. People are going to be very impressed and very happy." A denuclearization process will start "very quickly," he added. Trump declined to say what the document contained but said it will probably be handed out to the press before his press conference.
