North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has agreed to meet President Trump for a landmark summit on the border separating the Koreas after some prodding by the South Korean president, according to a report Tuesday.
President Moon Jae-in met with Kim in the Demilitarized Zone in an event that was aired around the world last Friday, when the two leaders agreed to formally end the 68-year-old Korean War and to work toward the “complete denuclearization” of the peninsula.

The site has a number of advantages — including logistics for Kim and because media facilities and equipment are already in place there, the report said.
A spokesperson for Moon backed the proposal.
