North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and President Donald Trump agreed at their historic DMZ meeting to push forward dialogue for the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, while there are speculations that Trump may have abandoned the complete denuclearization of North Korea. North Korean state media lauded the meeting between Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump at the demilitarized zone dividing the two Koreas. This was Trump's Jimmy Carter moment, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to set foot in North Korea. However, North Korea has accused the U.S. of being "hell-bent on hostile acts", despite a recent agreement to resume nuclear talks. North Korea also accused Washington of attempting to "undermine the peaceful atmosphere" on the Korean peninsula. North Korea's Cold War mindset is hard to overcome despite Trump's personal efforts to ease tensions with North Korea. Hopefully, Trump will force North Korea into surrendering its nuclear arsenals in exchange for easing sanctions, while it may keep the nuclear reactor at the Yongbyon nuclear complex and an acceptable amount of fissile materials for civilian use. The second summit broke down because administration officials demanded North Korea to dismantle the Yongbyon nuclear complex. Yongbyon and some other sites should be regularly inspected by U.N. officials, thus partially dismantling nuclear activities at the Yongbyon nuclear center. The South African model is ideal for North Korea. When South Africa dismantled the bombs, it took apart key nuclear facilities, and later, subjected the process to rigorous international oversight.
President Donald Trump shook hands with Kim Jong Un on Sunday and took 20 steps into North Korea, making history as the first sitting US leader to set foot in the hermit kingdom.
Trump crossed the low stone curb separating the North and South at 3:45 p.m. local time, making his way alongside a grinning Kim into a country that's long been a global pariah for its nuclear ambitions and dismal record on human rights.
The encounter at the heavily fortified Korean Demilitarized Zone -- their third in person -- came a day after Trump raised the prospect of a border handshake in a tweet and declared he'd have "no problem" stepping into North Korea.
"Would you like me to step across?" Trump asked Kim as they shook hands. "I am OK with it." While inside North Korean territory, Trump and Kim shook hands and patted each other's backs before returning across the border to the South after about a minute.
"I never expected to meet you at this place," Kim, who appeared overjoyed in the moment, told Trump through an interpreter.
Later, Trump said he was "proud to step over the line" and thanked Kim for the meeting. He invited him to the White House, though later acknowledged such a visit would likely not come soon.
