U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un meet at the border village of Panmunjom in the Demilitarized Zone separating South and North Korea on June 30. The two leaders agreed to revive their stalled nuclear talks.
What Happened Just over four months since the high-profile breakdown of their summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un have met again. On June 30, in what Trump couched as a relatively impromptu event, they held a 50-minute meeting at the inter-Korean border's Panmunjom peace village. In a highly symbolic moment, the two leaders shook hands before Trump became the first sitting U.S. president to cross, however briefly, into North Korea. Kim also stepped over into South Korea. At a post-meeting news conference, Trump said that U.S. and North Korean representatives will hold working-level nuclear talks in the next two to three weeks between teams chosen by the U.S. special envoy for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on the one side and an unnamed North Korean counterpart on the other.
