On Sunday, Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to set foot on North Korean soil when he briefly crossed into the Stalinist state during a meeting with Kim Jong-un at the demilitarized zone. Just days after the historic talks where both leaders agreed to resume dialogue on a denuclearization deal, North Korea has suddenly accused the U.S. of being "hell-bent on hostile acts." The North Korean complaint came after the U.S. sent a letter to all UN member states, urging them to send back North Korean migrant workers by the end of 2019. The website "North Korea in the World" which is run by the East-West Center and the National Committee on North Korea, maintains statistics about the countries believed to be currently hosting or that have recently hosted North Korean workers. A smaller number work in North Korean restaurants abroad and they made headlines in 2016 when 13 workers defected to South Korea.
