On June 30, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un met in the demilitarized zone on the border of South and North Korea. Negotiations took place in the demilitarized zone between US President Donald Trump and DPRK leader Comrade Kim Jong-un

The talks between the leaders of the United States and the DPRK lasted about 50 minutes. During the talks, Kim Jong-un expressed the hope that the DPRK and the United States would overcome all the problems of the past and open a new page in relations between the two states.

“I want to achieve surpassing any expectations with President Trump,” Kim Jong-un quoted to Reuters.

The DPRK leader invited US President Donald Trump to visit the the DPRK capital Pyongyang. This is reported by TASS with reference to the Japanese agency "Kyodo"

Earlier, the American president invited his DPRK counterpart to visit Washington. “But for this we still have work to do. We'll see,” says Trump to Tass. Following the talks, Trump and Kim Jong-un agreed to resume negotiations between the United States and the DPRK over the next few weeks.

At the end of the negotiations, both leaders, having crossed the border of the demilitarized zone, took pictures in the territory of the DPRK. Thus, Trump became the first American president to cross the DPRK border.

According to the Director General of the Center for Political Information of the Russian Federation, Alexei Mukhin, “... it was just a meeting, which is not burdened with any obligations to each other ... We must clearly understand that this is not an important international meeting, but a photo session. Both sides of the talks were well aware that the meeting was completely meaningless from a political and diplomatic point of view. For Trump, it was important to be not the first man on the moon, but the first president of the United States who set foot on North Korean land, and that all the media would immediately be heard about this. Kim Jong-un wanted to demonstrate that he is meeting with the American president so easily, spontaneously and without all obligations for himself ... But in the image plan, the meeting had 100% worked out. ”

The meeting was also attended by US Treasury Secretary Stephen Mnuchin and US Assistant Presidents - Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner.
