President Donald Trump has taken the historic walk from the DMZ into North Korean territory in order to embark on a meeting with Korean dictator Kim Jong-un today. Shortly after the pair greeted each other with a hand shake, President Trump was hailed as 'courageous' by the North Korean leader. The US leader arrived in South Korean on 29 June for a two-day visit that will include a meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and a trip to the Demilitarized Zone. A military service-member then proceeded to give him a brief tour, pointing out North Korean territory from a vista at the line of demarcation. About 28,500 American soldiers are deployed in South Korea as deterrence against potential aggression from North Korea.
