There, just like during the 1st inter-Korean summit in April 2018,... Kim Jong-un greeted Trump at the border, saying how he never expected to see President Trump there.   Kim then took Trump to the Northern side, making him the first U.S. president to set foot on North Korean soil.  It's also the first time in 66 years, since the armistice agreement,... that North Korea and U.S. have met at the border village.  After a brief photo shoot, the two crossed over to the South Korean side, exchanging brief comments on the surprise meeting.  (Korean)     "In crossing the border, I think President Trump showed extraordinary determination to move beyond the troubled past and into a better future."  (English)    "I just want to say this is my honor I didn't really expect it. We were in Japan for the G20. We came over and said I’m over here, I want to meet Chairman Kim. And we got to meet and stepping across that line was a great honor. A lot of progress has been made." President Trump also said they liked each other from day one, and that he would invite Kim to the White House right now.    The two leaders were then joined by South Korean President Moon Jae-in, and this marked another historic moment,... as the leaders of the two Koreas and the leader of the U.S. finally all met together.  Though the details could not be heard, the leaders got to enjoy about 4 minutes of three-way talks, standing at the symbolic place of peace.    The leaders of North Korea and the U.S. then moved to the Freedom House on the South Korean side to hold their de facto third bilateral meeting, which lasted for 53 minutes.  (Korean)     "Some people think this meeting was arranged before through letters, but I only knew yesterday morning that President Trump would be here. And I want to meet again, and I believe that by meeting here, which is a symbol of division, the symbol of a hostile past, I believe that by two countries that have a hostile past meeting here, I think we are showcasing to the world that we have a new present, and this is showcasing to the world that we will have positive meetings going forward." At a quick briefing after the meeting, President Trump said both sides agreed to resume working-level talks soon. (English)    "So we have agreed to have teams set up, we're going to have United States will have teams, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, pick it, we already know the gentlemen, good luck Steve.  Having said that he hopes the focus of Sunday's visit to the DMZ goes to Kim and Trump, South Korean President said the day's events gave hope to not just the Koreans on both sides, but to the world as well.  (Korean)      "With today's encounter we overcame another big hill in establishing lasting peace and complete denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula. // I believe the agreement to resume their working-level talks has brought us a step closer to a good outcome." The leaders of the two Koreas and the US gathered for the first time Sunday ( June 30th ) at the border village of Panmunjom, making history in Korean Peninsula issues.  [ Photo  |  Yonhap ]  ( President Moon took a step back from the spotlight, instead praising Trump’s role in North Korean issues, referring to the US president as “the true protagonist of the Korean Peninsula peace process, the peacemaker of the Korean Peninsula.” ) by  Choi He-suk  cheesuk@heraldcorp.com  |   via  The Korea Herald    In a manner similar to President Moon Jae-in’s summit with Kim in April last year, Trump and Kim met at the Military Demarcation Line, respectively on the South Korean and North Korean side.  After a brief greeting across the MDL, Trump and Kim walked several steps into North Korea, after which they came back to the South Korean side.

The Trump-Kim meeting was arranged, according to Trump, rapidly after a Twitter message from the US president while he was in Osaka, Japan for the G-20 Summit.
