The 2018 North Korea–United States summit, or Singapore Summit, is the first between a United States President and the North Korean leader. It took place on June 12, 2018 at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island in Singapore between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump.

The two leaders signed a joint statement during their meeting and released it to the public on Tuesday morning.

While the White House is certainly going to count this as a win for President Trump, analysts looking at the statement and the information released say the news is not good.

Of course Trump's friends at Fox News had a different spin than the rest of the news media and political analysts.

In addition to the lack of concessions by North Korea in the joint statement signed by Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump, people — even on Fox News — are critical of the praise Trump had for a known dictator with documented serious human rights violations.

And some raised questions about Trump's motives for the summit. Is a Trump Hotel Pyongyang coming soon?

The ultimate results of the Singapore Summit remain to be seen. However the joint statement lacks the teeth needed to affect any real change in North Korean policy while the United States, or the Trump administration, may not recover from looking like they were outmaneuvered by a foreign leader Trump used to openly mock.

MAGA Senator Slammed After Scolding Americans For Whining About High Gas Prices Amid Iran War—And Wow

Kansas Republican Senator Roger Marshall chastised Americans for complaining about high gas prices and insisted they should consider that their "national security is even more important" than whatever blows are being dealt to their wallets at the gas pump.

Consumer prices are up 3.3% compared to a year ago, largely fueled by a surge in energy costs. The energy index jumped 10.9% in a single month as oil and gas prices climbed sharply. Amid the Iran war and the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, oil has risen back to around $100 a barrel, pushing gasoline prices up by a record 25%.

Kid Goes Viral After Leaving Sweet Note On Plane For The Person Sitting In Their Seat On The Next Flight

A lot is going on in our world right now that gives us pause, and some of us might feel our hearts breaking under the weight of all of it. That makes acts of kindness, no matter how small they are, more important than ever before.

X user @oatmilkanie shouted out an unidentified child who clearly got the memo when they boarded a plane and discovered that the child had written a note for the next person to sit in their seat, directly on the paper nausea bag that's snuggled in the seat pocket in front of the passenger's knees.

Woman Creeped All The Way Out After Finding Hidden Door In The Ceiling Of Her Airbnb

A lot of us already cannot sleep well when we're visiting someone else's home or staying in a hotel, because we're uncomfortable in a different bed and maybe even a little creeped out in the unusual space.

But discovering a whole other room with a creepy door would quickly transform a space from a rental to something out of a horror movie real quick for anybody.
