Trump steps into DPRK to greet Kim, renew talks

With smiles and handshakes, a third meeting between US President Donald Trump and DPRK top leader Kim Jong-un unfolded at the Korean border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone on Sunday, raising hopes for a revival of stalled nuclear talks.

Trump, escorted by Kim, briefly crossed the military demarcation line between the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the Republic of Korea on Sunday afternoon, onto DPRK soil, becoming the first sitting US president to set foot in the country.

After exchanging handshakes and a few words, the two leaders stepped back to the ROK side of the village and met with ROK President Moon Jae-in, before going into one-on-one talks behind closed doors at the Freedom House on the southern side of Panmunjom.
