During the brief but historic one-on-one conversation between Trump and Kim, only two interpreters were present.
In other words, they were the only ones in the world who knew the content of the conversation between Trump and Kim Jong-un.
But reports about the atmosphere of the meeting and eventually the Joint Statement signed by the two leaders were reported and released.
Trump tweeted that he was getting along very well with Kim Jong-un and that North Korea had made significant progress in denuclearizing.
