Trump becomes first sitting president to set foot into North Korea

Panmunjom, South Korea • President Donald Trump met Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea on Sunday and crossed briefly into North Korea, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit the isolated state.

The two men held 53 minutes of private talks and agreed to set up teams to "work out some details" to determine whether progress could be made in their negotiations over North Korea's nuclear program, Trump said.

"Speed is not the object. We want to see if we can do a really comprehensive, good deal," Trump said after the talks.
