Leaders of two Koreas hold surprise meeting as Trump revives summit hopes

Leaders of two Koreas hold surprise meeting as Trump revives summit hopesBy Soyoung Kim and David Brunnstrom SEOUL/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - South Korean President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un held a surprise meeting on Saturday in an effort to ensure that a high-stakes summit between Kim and U.S. President Donald Trump takes place successfully. The meeting was the latest dramatic turn in a week of diplomatic flip-flops surrounding the prospects for an unprecedented summit between the United States and North Korea, and the strongest sign yet that the two Korean leaders are trying to keep the on-again off-again summit on track. At that meeting, they declared they would work toward a nuclear-free Korean peninsula and a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War.
