On Friday morning, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un will be greeted by South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the demilitarized zone (DMZ) that divides the two countries -- the first time leaders of the two countries have met since 2007. Kim will walk across the painted Military Demarcation Line (MDL) and into the southern half of the DMZ at about 9.30 a.m. local time Friday morning (8.30 p.m. After a break for lunch, Kim and Moon will plant a pine tree using soil from Mount Halla in South Korea and Mount Baekdu in the North. And even if North Korea agreed to denuclearize, we don't know how many nuclear weapons it has or where they are located. Any military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula would expose South Korea and Japan to devastating casualties and put the US homeland at risk of North Korean missiles.
