Historic handshake leads to a day of talks in Singapore
Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un made history this morning, becoming the first sitting US and North Korean leaders to meet and shake hands, as they seek to end a tense decades-old nuclear stand-off.
The two men strode toward each other and shared a handshake beneath the white-washed walls of an upscale hotel on Sentosa Island, Singapore, before sitting down for a half-day of meetings with ramifications for the world.
Scroll through to about 1:35:00 to witness the historic moment. Video from The Straits Times.
