President Donald Trump arrives at the DMZ.
President Donald Trump arrived at the Korean demilitarized zone just before 2 a.m. Eastern time in a prelude to a historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Trump visited an observation tower, looking into the secluded North, where many U.S. presidents have stopped before.
Just hours before, Trump announced he was set to travel to the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea at a joint press conference with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. Moon joined Trump in his visit to the border. Asked about the possibility of a third summit, Trump said he'd like to see what happens Sunday before talking about another meeting.The president also claimed -- falsely -- that former President Barack Obama sought to meet with Kim and that he was rebuffed.
Trump has even raised the possibility of stepping across the border into North Korea -- something no previous U.S. president has done.
