Trump made the promise after vowing to stop military exercises with South Korea, according to NK state media.

The president was in self-congratulatory mood as he summed up the historic Singapore Summit on social media.

He wrote: "The World has taken a big step back from potential Nuclear catastrophe!

"No more rocket launches, nuclear testing or research!

"The hostages are back home with their families.

"Thank you to Chairman Kim, our day together was historic!"

He also took pot shots at his "haters" for criticising the meeting.

Trump wrote: "A year ago the pundits and talking heads, people that couldn’t do the job before, were begging for conciliation and peace - 'please meet, don’t go to war.'

"Now that we meet and have a great relationship with Kim Jong Un, the same haters shout out, 'you shouldn’t meet, do not meet!'

Trump said the agreement signed at the Singapore summit was the first step in a long journey to improve relations with North Korea.

The US President has vowed to "end war games" in a "new chapter" with North Korea.

The pair shook hands and patted each other on the back, after Trump played Kim a bizarre movie trailer depicting a fantasy future for their two nations.

It has also been reported that Kim Jong-un has accepted Donald Trump's invitation to the White House.

The NK leader has never before visited America.

And he showed off to the North Korean dictator by giving him a peak inside his magnificent £1.5million limo “The Beast”.
