North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and South Korean President Moon Jae-in held a surprise meeting at the Demilitarized Zone, the South Korean presidency said in a statement.
The two leaders "exchanged their opinions" on among other things successfully carrying out a future US-North Korea summit, according to the statement. President Donald Trump canceled a June 12 summit with Kim this week, then told reporters Friday he's still open to a meeting.
Saturday's meeting at the DMZ follows a daylong summit last month in which Moon and Kim embraced, planted a tree and talked alone for more than 30 minutes. In that meeting, they also signed a declaration that commits the two countries to denuclearization and talks to bring a formal end to the 65-year-old conflict. It was the first meeting between leaders of the two countries in 10 years.

(54,277 posts)Moon: Hi, Kim
Kim: Hey there, Moon.
Moon: What are we gonna do about Trump?
Kim: Hell if I know. Is he back on today, or is it off again? I didn't send any more missiles over Japan. I admit, I doubt I fooled anyone except Trump when I claimed to destroy my nuke facility after some jerk scientist blew it up by mistake.
Moon: Well, as far as I can tell, as of three hours ago, it was back on.
Kim: Three hours? With Trump, that's back in the last Ice Age. What did he say within the last ten minutes?
Moon: I don't know. I don't get Fox.
Kim: I don't blame you. Nor does anyone else in their right mind. OK, well, I'm running low on hard currency again, so if you can, slip in the word that we welcome the opportunity, etc. etc. You know the drill. You know what to say. Don't make it look like I'm too eager. In the first place, I'm not. I know what a dork he is.
Moon: No arguments there.
Kim: Second of all, if my generals detect anything they interpret as a sign of weakness on my part, the next rocket we send up will be burning me as part of the solid fuel first stage. I promise you, you don't want that. Compared to them, I'm Gandhi.
Moon: Got it. I'll tell Bolton you are secretly hoping Trump cancels again. That should practically ensure that Trump will not only come, but bring you your own personalized Big Mac as well.
Kim: Hey, I have a weight problem, in case you haven't noticed. Just make it a salad, OK?
Moon: Trump wouldn't understand. Just slip me the burger, and I'll slip you a salad under the table.
Kim: OK, thanks, man. Get back to me when you hear something. We had better break it up soon. If Bolton sees us talking for too long, he'll think we're planning to have Samsung infiltrate the NSA or something.
Moon: They did. About five years ago. I'll tell you all about it next time.
Kim: Can't wait. OK, later, man.
