Here's what Mr Trump said at the beginning of his news conference.

Mr Trump says he didn't want to be "threatening" to North Korea in his negotiations with Kim.

He says any conflict involving North Korea could lead to the loss of tens of millions of lives in South Korea because its capital, Seoul, is so close to the North Korean border.

Asked why he had threatened North Korea with "fire and fury" in the past, he says it was appropriate language at the time.

A reporter asks Mr Trump if the row following the G7 meeting will damage the US's relations with its long-standing allies.

He says he had "a very good" meeting with the G7 but the US is being "taken advantage of".

When asked why he didn't secure better guarantees from North Korea, Mr Trump says there was "no time" to secure the details because he was only in Singapore "for one day".

Earlier, he also said: "It's not a big deal to meet - I think we should meet on a lot of different topics."

Mr Trump says "We haven't given up anything" other than agreeing to meet Kim Jong-un.

"Only a person that dislikes Trump would say we've agreed to make a big commitment," he says.

However, many analysts have argued that a bilateral meeting with a sitting US president is a propaganda victory for North Korea.

Mr Trump is being asked to elaborate on his decision to end military exercises with South Korea.

He says: "We've done exercises for a long period of time, working with South Korea. We call them war games. They're tremendously expensive. South Korea contributes but not 100%. We have to talk to many countries about treating us fairly. The war games are very expensive, we pay for a big majority of them."

He adds that it is "a very provocative situation" for North Korea. "We're negotiating a very complicated deal... I think it's inappropriate to have war games."

Trump: "The sanctions will come off when we are sure that the nukes are no longer a factor."

"I actually look forward to taking them off," he says, but only when he is confident about denuclearisation.

A journalist reminds Mr Trump he once said North Korea has "more brutally oppressed its people than any other regime". "Do you still believe that's the case?" he is asked.

Mr Trump replies: "I believe it's a rough situation over there... " but the main purpose of their discussion was "denuking".

"It's rough, it's rough in a lot of places by the way."

He says human rights were discussed seriously during his talks with Mr Kim.

Mr Trump says Kim Jong-un has agreed that the remains of US soldiers in North Korea will be returned. "I asked for it today and we got it."

When asked whether human rights were discussed in his meeting with Mr Kim, Mr Trump says they were, "relatively briefly".

It's difficult to underestimate how important the joint war games statement is. The US has carries them out with South Korea routinely. Now they are "provocative", says Mr Trump.

They also cost the US a lot of money, he adds.

The are on hold unless future negotiations with North Korea do not go as planned, he adds.

It's unclear if South Korea has been consulted on this. But Mr Trump is speaking with confidence on this point.
