Donald Trump has become the first sitting US president to set foot in North Korea, accompanied by the country's leader Kim Jong-un.

The pair shared a historic handshake first in the demilitarised zone, an area of land between North and South Korea, which has divided the two countries since the Korean War ended in 1953.

Mr Kim then stepped over into South Korea with Mr Trump, then greeted the South Korean president Moon Jae-in.

The US president and the North Korean leader then spent nearly an hour in a meeting with both countries agreeing to set up teams to restart nuclear talks.

The US president said it was a "truly historic" moment and that he was "proud to step over the line" between the Koreas.

Kim Jong-un said the meeting was a symbol of the "excellent" relationship between him and Mr Trump.

The pair made history last year when they met in Singapore, a country in Asia, as it was the first time a serving US president had met with the North Korean leader.

One of the main issues they discussed last year was removing all of the nuclear weapons from Korea.

They signed a document that promised the "complete denuclearisation" of the Korean peninsula, which would mean that there would be no nuclear weapons in North or South Korea.

However little progress has been made on this since their discussion.
