U.S. President Donald Trump offered North Korea leader Kim Jong-un a rare glimpse inside the presidential limousine known as “The Beast” on Tuesday as their historic summit in Singapore wound down.
After meetings and a working lunch, the two were spotted approaching Mr. Trump’s hulking black limousine, adorned with an American flag. Mr. Kim could be seen smiling as the two stood chatting and Mr. Kim peeked inside.
Also, gone were the days of “little rocket man” and “sick puppy” — names Mr. Trump had previously used for his summit buddy.
Now Mr. Kim was praised as “talented”, “very smart”, a “good negotiator” who “loves his country very much”.
Pressed on the fate of Otto Warmbier, the U.S. student who died after being held in North Korea, Mr. Trump said relations started to change with Pyongyang at around the time of Warmbier’s death. “Otto did not die in vain,” he said.
