ANALYSIS: Trump, ever the showman, delivers his greatest performance at DMZ.
In one dramatic gesture, he became the first U.S. president to set foot in North Korea -- and the first to arrange an impromptu meeting with a North Korean dictator via tweet.
Of course, there is no progress yet on dismantling North Korea's nuclear program, just a promise of more talks. But the Kim/Trump show is back on, something that was not guaranteed after the February summit in Hanoi broke off without an agreement. The danger is still there. But the apocalyptic insults are on hold. And so are the nuclear tests and long-range missile tests.
The first moves seemed well choreographed: the handshake, the walk over to the North Korean side and the walk back to the South Korean side. It's a move that not even a South Korean president had ever done until President Moon Jae-in did it last April.The two leaders walked around and talked, security guards for both sides were seemingly unclear about where they were going and where the press would be allowed to go.
