Donald Trump meets Kim Jong-un, becomes first sitting United States president to set foot in North Korea
Hopes for peace
The two men shook hands warmly and expressed hopes for peace when they met for the third time in just over a year on the old Cold War frontier that for decades has symbolised the hostility between their countries, which are technically still at war.
Crossing the DMZ
Trump, escorted by Kim, briefly crossed a military demarcation line into the North.
Moments later, they returned to the South Korean side and joined South Korea's President Moon Jae-in for a brief chat, marking an unprecedented three-way gathering.
Closed door meeting
Trump and Kim then held a closed-door meeting for nearly an hour.
"The meeting was a very good one, very strong ... We agreed to work out details," Trump said. "We'll see what can happen,"
Push to stalled talks
He said both sides would set up teams to push forward stalled talks aimed at getting North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons, adding he was in no rush for a deal.
Trump and Kim met for the first time in Singapore in June last year and agreed to improve relations and work towards the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.
But there has been little progress since then.
Nuke issue
The second summit in Hanoi, Vietnam, in February broke down after the two sides failed to narrow differences between a US demand for North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons and a North Korean demand for sanctions relief.
Kim at ease
Kim looked relaxed and smiled as he chatted with Trump amidst a throng of press photographers, aides and bodyguards.
"I was surprised to see your message that you wanted to meet me," he told Trump, referring to Trump's Saturday offer, in a Twitter posting, to meet.
"This is an expression of his willingness" to work towards a new future, Kim said.
'Great day!'
Kim said it would be a great honour if Trump visited his capital of Pyongyang.
"To cross that line was a great honour," Trump said, referring to his brief incursion into the North Korean side of the DMZ.
"It's a great day for the world," he said.
"We moved mountains" to arrange the meeting at such short notice, he said.
