Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to step into North Korea as he strode by himself across the demilitarized zone and shook hands with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un Sunday. He was led by Kim to the demarcation line and officially stepped into North Korea -- a historic moment and"a great honor," Trump said."I just want to thank you, it was very quick notice and I just want to thank you," Trump said.

He visited U.S. troops at the border afterward, was given the gift of a jacket and signed the wall as has become tradition for presidents. Expanding on his decision Saturday to extend a last-minute invite to Kim to meet him at the DMZ, Trump said the trip was"something I planned long ago, but had the idea yesterday, to maybe, say 'hello,' just shake and quickly say 'hello.'"
"Very short, it would be very short, virtually a handshake," Trump said."But that’s OK. A handshake means a lot." Trump announced yesterday that he would be traveling to the DMZ during his visit to South Korea and issued an impromptu Twitter invitation to the North Korean leader to have a brief visit and share a handshake.
