SEOUL -- Donald Trump on Sunday became the first sitting U.S. president to enter North Korea when he stepped over the border to greet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the Demilitarized Zone between the two Koreas.

The two leaders agreed to restart the denuclearization talks, frozen since February after the collapse of the last summit in Vietnam, in few weeks.
