U.S. President Donald Trump shared a photo on social media from a 2019 meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the Panmunjom border village. In the caption, Trump declared that he and Kim "get along great." This announcement comes amid the White House's assertion that Trump is open to dialogue with Kim, without any preconditions, although the likelihood of a meeting remains unclear due to escalating economic, diplomatic, and military cooperation between North Korea and Russia.
Despite the serious expression in the specific photo, Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Kim Jong Un and I get along GREAT!" Trump had three face-to-face meetings with Kim during his presidency: the first in Singapore in June 2018, the second in Hanoi in February 2019, and the third in Panmunjom in June 2019. The third encounter drew global attention as Trump briefly set foot on North Korean territory after crossing the Military Demarcation Line with Kim, marking the first time a U.S. president had done so. In June, Trump also posted on Truth Social about a prior meeting with Kim.
