While the U.S. gave nothing to North Korea, they however did receive some concessions: they secured the release of 3 U.S. hostages, secured the halting of all sites for nuclear tests, as well as secured the closure of all nuclear test sites . In addition, the U.S will still maintain the ability to continue go apply sanctions.

“I learned he’s a very talented man. I also learned that he loves his country very much.”
During a post-lunch stroll through the gardens of the Singapore hotel where the summit was held, Trump said the meeting had gone “better than anybody could have expected”.
Kim stood silently alongside, but the North Korean leader had earlier described their summit as a “a good prelude to peace”.
