Kim Jong Un entered South Korea to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Friday morning local time, marking the first time a North Korean leader has crossed the border since the Korean War ended in 1953.
The two leaders will address North Korea’s growing nuclear program, ahead of a planned meeting between Kim and President Trump.
“On the occasion of Republic of Korea President Moon Jae-in’s historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, we wish the Korean people well,” the White House said in a statement Thursday evening. “We are hopeful that talks will achieve progress toward a future of peace and prosperity for the entire Korean Peninsula. The United States appreciates the close coordination with our ally, the Republic of Korea, and looks forward to continuing robust discussions in preparation for the planned meeting between President Donald J. Trump and Kim Jong Un in the coming weeks.”

Earlier in the day Thursday, the White House shared photos from then-Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo’s Easter weekend meeting earlier this month with Kim. Trump also said the U.S. has narrowed a meeting between Kim and Trump down to five locations and up to four dates.

Simplified version of my concern:
1. NK & SK declare peace & "denuclearization."
2. "Bring troops home" movement starts in US & "send them back" in SK.
3. POTUS (this or next) pulls troops, declares victory
4. NK invades SK.
5. NK says, we'll use nukes if you meddle— Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) April 27, 2018
