(r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>President Trump became the first sitting US President to set foot on North Korean soil. This began with a tweet inviting their leader to meet for a handshake at the border. Then, after they came face-to-face, President Trump asked if Kim Jong-un wanted him to cross over.<\/p>\n<p>Kim accepted; they walked 10 steps into North Korea. Then, they turned around and walked into South Korea. What was supposed to be a couple minutes of meeting grew to nearly an hour.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From Newsmax:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In a made-for television moment, the two leaders strode toward one another from opposite sides of the Joint Security Area and shook hands over the raised patch of concrete at the Military Demarcation Line as cameras clicked and photographers jostled to capture the scene. After asking if Kim wanted him to cross, Trump took 10 steps into the North with Kim at his side, before escorting Kim back to the South for a sit-down at Freedom House.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>President Trump&#8217;s actions could be compared with similar events with the previous US presidents.
