And yet the president seems to be interested in the possibility of that picture. and to be frank, it would be unprecedented, a u.s. president shaking hands with a north korean leader at that border that divides the north and south and has since the end of the korean war 60, 70 some odd years ago, but again cant be divorced from the fact on the essential question north korea ending, curtailing its nuclear program, no progress there and yet the president wants tomorrow to have yet another face-to-...

Jong-un would show up at the border, so thats where we are now. well see where it happens. theres a security element to this as well because reporters have known for some time this visit was a possibility, not a handshake with the presidents visit to the border. the president putting it out on twitter now so the president now plans to go to the border whether or not kim jong-un shows up there for an agreement. oats a moment to remember that if this third meeting happens what progress has been ma...
