President Donald Trump has
invited Kim Jong Un, North Korea leader, to the White House, the seat of power
in America.
Trump extended the invitation to
the North Korean leader on Sunday when he made history as the first sitting
American president to visit the Asian country.
Trump met with Jong Un at the
demilitarised zone (DMZ), separating North Korea and South Korea after leaving
Osaka, Japan, at the end of the G20 summit.
The US president initiated the
visit via Twitter.
“Good to see you again. I never
expected to meet you at this place,” Jong Un told Trump as both men shook
hands.
Trump announced after the meeting
that lasted about an hour that both countries would resume negotiations.
“Leaving South Korea after a
wonderful meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un. Stood on the soil of North Korea,
an important statement for all, and a great honor!” he wrote on Twitter.
Both men had met in January 2018
over possession of and threats to use nuclear weapons by North Korea.
Though the leaders signed an
agreement committing to the “complete denuclearisation of the Korean
peninsula”, little progress has been
made.
They met again in June 2018 where
Trump said the meeting went better than expected.
Their last meeting in February
ended in a no-deal. It held in Hanoi, Vietnam capital.
