President Donald Trump is going to the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between North and South Korea today.
After meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in the morning, Trump will travel to the DMZ — his first time there. He attempted a visit in 2017, but was forced to turn back because of bad weather.
The big question of today is whether North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will stop by the DMZ as well. Yesterday, Trump tweeted out an open invitation for the two to shake hands and “say hello.”
“It’s very hard,” he said of the US-North Korea situation yesterday at the G20, adding that Kim “follows my Twitter.”
As for what he would expect for a potential meeting, Trump said, “We’re not talking about extended — just a quick hello.”
In response, a senior North Korean government official was quoted in state news agency KCNA as saying Trump’s invite was a “very interesting suggestion.”
It remains unclear at this point if Kim will show.
