US President Donald Trump became the first US acting head of state to cross the border between South and North Korea.

This happened as he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the demilitarized area, which continued with a one-hour tripartite conversation with the leaders of the two Koreas on the southern side of the border.

North Korea said it would not surrender to US sanctions and blamed Washington for trying to put it on its knees, the Associated Press reported.

The U.S. President Donald Trump sent an "excellent" letter to the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, the Korean Central News Agency reported.

The existence of such a letter was confirmed by The White House press secretary, Sarah Sanders, who said Trump sent a letter and "correspondence between the two leaders has been ongoing."

Japan plans to purchase 105 F-35 American fifth-generation fighters, US President Donald Trump said. This will make the Land of the Rising Sun a state ally of the US with the largest air fleet with such machines.

North Korea has an enormous economic potential if the leader of the country, Kim Jong-un, agrees Pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons. A similar publication on Twitter came out yesterday by US President Donald Trump. In it, he adds that Vietnam can be an example the country should follow, CNBC wrote.

President Trump announced on Tuesday that he will sit down with North Korea's leader, Kim Jong-un, at the end of this month in Vietnam, a country chosen as a neutral location for their second nuclear summit meeting, but one that also has plenty of symbolic significance, reported NY Times. 

The first organized tourist group from Bulgaria will arrive in North Korea in April. The excursion will coincide with the celebrations on the occasion of the 107th birthday of the leader Kim Il-sung  - the grandfather of the current country leader, Kim Jong-un.
