SEOUL (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump held talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) between the two Koreas on Sunday, the third meeting between the two leaders in just over a year.

The world's last Cold War frontier has seen a spate of dramatic diplomatic and military incidents over the years, as well as dozens of rounds of government, military and humanitarian talks since 1971, when the two Koreas opened their first hotline and liaison offices.
