After the Panmunjom Declaration of 27 April, the leaders of North Korea and the United States met for the first time on 12 June 2018 at the Capella Hotel on Sentosa Island, Singapore. They signed a joint statement agreeing on four points: new US–North Korea relations, a lasting and stable peace regime on the peninsula, complete denuclearization of the peninsula reaffirming the Panmunjom Declaration, and the return of the remains of US soldiers killed in the Korean War.
Their second summit, in Hanoi, Vietnam, on 27–28 February 2019, broke up without agreement over the dismantling of the Yongbyon nuclear facilities and the extent of sanctions relief. The leaders of the two Koreas and the US met briefly at Panmunjom on 30 June, but denuclearization talks did not resume.
