US President Donald Trump has met North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un at the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating the two Koreas, in what was effectively an impromptu get-together.
During a brief outdoors meeting at the DMZ, which saw a flurry of flash photography and cameramen and bodyguards swirling around, Trump stepped over the demarcation line into North Korean territory and Kim into South Korean territory, marking historic firsts.
“This is my honor. I didn’t expect it. Stepping across that line was a great honor,” Trump said.
Kim, for his part, said, “President Trump just crossed… became first US president to visit our country. This is an expression of his willingness to eliminate the aggression of the past and open a new future.”
Trump also said that “a lot of positive things are happening… we met and we liked each other from day one. And that’s very important.”
“We’re going to go and talk for a while,” the US president said before the two headed back into the South for follow-up discussions.
