VIDEO: Trump, Kim in historic first handshake between leaders of US, North Korea

Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un made history on Tuesday, becoming the first sitting US and North Korean leaders to meet and shake hands, as they seek to end a tense decades-old nuclear stand-off.

The two men strode toward each other and shared a handshake beneath the white-washed walls of an upscale hotel in neutral Singapore, before sitting down for a half-day of meetings with ramifications for the world.
