He said after speaking about the two leaders that he could "predict the success of the summit".

Seventy years of discord and hatred have created a "black shadow" that makes it hard to believe what happened before our eyes. I owe my congratulations on the courage and determination of the two leaders to take the step towards change.

Boris Johnson explains that the United States will continue to support the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
