		</div><p>President Donald Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un shook hands across the border at the Korean Demilitarised Zone, in an historic photo-op as Mr Trump sought to make a legacy-defining nuclear deal with the North.</p>
<p>It is the third time the two leaders have met, and the first since a failed summit on the North’s nuclear programme in Vietnam earlier this year.</p>
<p>Mr Trump briefly crossed the border into North Korea after greeting Mr Kim.</p>

<p>There are as yet no indications of a breakthrough in the stalled negotiations to end the North’s nuclear programme.</p>

<p>Mr Kim said Mr Trump’s brief visit to North Korean territory improves ties between the nations.</p>
<p>Mr Trump said it felt “great” to be the first US president to step into the North and hailed his “great friendship” with Mr Kim.</p>

<p>Mr Trump earlier had his first glimpse of North Korea from an observation post in the Korean Demilitarised Zone.</p>
<p>Mr Trump was shown various landmarks as he stands on top of Observation Post Ouellette.</p>
<p>He then met with several dozen troops stationed at the Korean Demilitarised Zone separating South and North Korea and telling them: “We’re with you all the way.”</p>
<p>The troops included US soldiers as well as South Korean troops.</p>

<p>Mr Trump was joined by South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who is praising Mr Trump for deciding to meet shortly with Mr Kim, calling it “a bold decision”.</p>

<p>Mr Trump has at times appeared to question the value of keeping US troops on the Korean Peninsula in light of the US-South Korea trade deficit.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon). While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello(?)!</p>

<p>Mr Trump said the situation used to be marked by “tremendous danger”, but that: “After our first summit, all of the danger went away.”</p>
<p>Every US president since Ronald Reagan has visited the 1953 armistice line, except for George H.W. Bush, who visited as vice president.</p>
