Quotes from US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's historic summit in Singapore.

Trump praised Kim calling him "a very talented man" who "loves his country very much."

"(Kim is) very smart and a very worthy, very hard negotiator."

"We're very proud of what took place today. Our whole relationship with North Korea and the Korean peninsula will be a much different situation than it has in the past" - Trump after the meeting.

"People are going to be very impressed and people are going to be very happy and we are going to take care of a very dangerous problem for the world."

Kim said the two leaders had a historic meeting "and decided to leave the past behind. The world will see a major change."

"We overcame all kinds of scepticism and speculations about this summit and I believe that this is good for the peace," he said. "I believe this is a good prelude for peace." - Kim on the prospects of peace.

"I think the entire world is watching this moment. Many people in the world will think of this as a scene from a fantasy... science fiction movie." - Kim was heard telling Trump through a translator.
