Blown up images of the joint document US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un signed earlier this afternoon have been circulating online. Images show that Kim has given a “firm and unwavering” commitment to the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, as Trump promises unspecified security guarantees.

The documents reportedly say:

“President Trump held a first meeting with Kim Jong Un in Singapore today, June the 12th. President Trump and Kim Jong Un had a comprehensive, in-depth and sincere exchange of opinions of the issues related to the establishment of the new US-DPRK relations and the building of a lasting and robust peace regime on the Korean peninsula.

“President Trump committed to provide security guarantees to the DPRK and chairman Kim Jong Un reaffirmed his firm and unwavering commitment to the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

“Convinced that the establishment of the new US-DPRK relations will contribute to the peace and prosperity of the Korean peninsula, and of the world, and recognising that mutual confidence building will promote the complete denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula, Chairman Kim and President Trump state the following:
