In 2019, the United States President Donald Trump met Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s Supreme leader, at a section of the Military Demarcation Line (MDL) between Freedom House and Panmungak. This section of the MDL is located inside the Joint Security Area of the Demilitarized Zone in Korea. During the meeting, Kim invited Trump to briefly cross over to North Korean soil, where they shook hands and took photos. After stepping back into South Korean territory, the two leaders were greeted by South Korea’s President Moon Jae-In.
