"Countries cannot continue to take advantage of us on trade," says Trump

"When we entered the room for discussions, we did not have bringing back the remains (of US soldiers during the Korean War) on the agenda. It was on my mind since many people had mentioned and requested for it. After the intense discussion, at the very end I just happened to mention that it would be a very nice gesture for the US to get back the remains," Donald Trump said. He further said he could have said let us discuss it in the next meeting, but no, he immediately said it makes sense and agreed to do it right away. For the thousands and thousands, I guess way over six thousand that we know of in terms of the remains, they'll be brought back," he said. 

We want our soldiers back, said Trump. "For the thousands and thousands, I guess way over six thousand that we know of in terms of the remains, they'll be brought back," he said. 

"We have a tremendous deficit in trade with China. We have to do something about it. That has impacted my relationship with Xi (Jinping)," said Trump. He further said South Korea "will do whatever is necessary to get a deal".

"Canada does have big advantage over us. They charge us more for dairy products. It is unfair for our farmers. I said we need balance," Donald Trump said over his rift with Justin Trudeau. "The picture with Angela looked like we are angry; we were just waiting for the document," he said on the recently held G 7 summit 

"We haven't given up anything on this. We are getting the remains back of people who died in violence. There have been no launches recently by them. They secured the closure of their single primary nuclear test site. They secured commitment of closing that site. We maintain the ability to apply sanctions. I had many sanctions but I talked about a few," says Trump 

Responding to a question over inviting Kim Jong Un to the White House, Donald Trump it will be done at the "right time". He further said the situation is rough in North Korea and that he has been reading about denuking a place adding that it takes time. He then said sanctions play a big role in this. "You have a different president, everything will be different. Maybe it wasn't a priority for other people. I don't blame Obama," he said. 

"Human Rights violations were also discussed, but not to the extent of denuclearization. Kim Jong Un is a very smart negotiator. We agreed on some initial measures," said Trump 

Donald Trump said Kim Jong Un is very serious about the denuclearization and has already destroyed a missile testing facility and have agreed to destroy another one. He seemed very sincere to move on, he added 

"It takes a lot of courage to give up weapons and take to the path of peace. All credit to him. Kim Jong Un is a very talented guy who has been able to take this challenge at the age of 26 and be able to manage it as well as he has. No one thought this would be possible, but today we are seeing it happening before our eyes. We all dream of a Korea where all Koreans (north and south) live together in harmony," says Donald Trump 

Our meeting been very, very good. By giving up its weapons and accepting commerce and embracing trade, North Korea has the potential to be an incredible place: Donald Trump
