Supreme leader credited with creating conditions for peace as South Korea and Japan voice security concerns
North Korea has hailed Tuesday’s summit between Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un as marking the end to hostile relations with the US, with state media depicting the meeting as a diplomatic victory for its leader.
Trump offered his own assessment as he landed back on US soil, tweeting that Pyongyang no longer posed a nuclear threat.
In its first report on the summit, North Korea’s official KCNA news agency offered a glowing account of the talks, name-checking Kim 16 times.
The front page of the ruling workers’ party newspaper, the Rodong Sinmun, meanwhile, ran photographs of Kim warmly shaking hands with Trump. It said the “meeting of the century” was held to” between the countries.
