SEOUL/DALIAN, China -- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un broke with tradition by flying to this week's meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, fueling speculation that Kim's talks with U.S. President Donald Trump will be held far from the Korean Peninsula.
Past North Korean leaders -- notably Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, who was reportedly afraid of flying -- preferred to travel by rail. The younger Kim's first meeting with Xi, held in Beijing this March, was no exception.
