In a historic surprise that was kept under wraps for days, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un traveled to Beijing by armoured train and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. It was the North Korean leader’s first foreign trip since taking office in 2011. During the four-day trip, the two leaders talked about denuclearization, with Kim reportedly saying he was willing to give up North Korea’s nuclear weapons. Kim also invited President Xi to visit Pyongyang, North Korea. It was the first of three potential historic meetings for Kim Jong-un. Next month, he’s slated to meet with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. He’s also slated to meet soon with President Trump, in what would be the first-ever meeting between a sitting U.S. president and a North Korean leader. A recent poll shows two-thirds of Americans support Trump’s plan to meet with Kim Jong-un.
