As the yankees and red sox bring their rivalry across the pond. Major League Baseball making its european debut. The royal welcome and the gifts for baby archie. Good morning, and lets get straight to breaking news overnight. A historic encounter just hours ago at the dmz, the border between north and south korea.

The president then stepped over the border, becoming the first u. S. President to enter north korea. The two leaders met behind closed doors for more than 30 minutes. They didnt cut a deal to denuclearize north korea. But they did agree to restart stalled talks. We have Team Coverage this morning. George stephanopoulos is standing by. But we start here with chief White House Correspondent jon karl whos on the ground in seoul, south korea. Jon, good morning. Reporter good morning, whit. With one dramatic gesture, President Trump became the First American president to set foot in north korea and also the first to set up an impromptu meeting with a north korean dictator via tweet. At first, the meeting seemed well choreographed. President trump walking from the south korean side. Kim jongun from the north. Good to see you again, kim s never thought id see you here. The handshake across the border. And it happened just 32 hours after trump tweeted the invitation to meet at the border. As they walked back to the south korean side its a great day for the world and its an honor for me to be here. Reporter another rarity, kim jongun speaking to reporters. President trump just walked across the demarcation line, he said, that made him the first u. S. President to visit our country. Tremendous positivity. Really great things are happening in a lot of places. But, we met and we liked each other from day one and that was very important. Reporter as they walked toward the socalled house of freedom, chaos. Security guards at first blocked the u. S. Press. And then, a scramble to get the american reporters inside. Thats the new White House Press secretary stephanie grisham, elbowing and shoving a north korean Security Guard. More chaos inside the meeting. And words of diplomacy. It was an honor to be with you, and it was an honor that you asked me to step over that line, and i was proud to step over the line. Reporter the two leaders met behind closed doors for about 30 minutes, followed by another chaotic scene as trump walked kim back over to north korea. Theres no question todays meeting was an historic first. But after two summits and one impromptu meeting, north Koreas Nuclear Program Remains fully in place. President trump announced there will be a new round of talks, some at lower levels, with the aim of setting up an agreement that would finally add some substance to this incredibly powerful symbolism. Whit. Truly an extraordinary scene. Jon, this was classic trump. The master showman in his element. You were there for his two previous meetings with kim. How big was this moment for President Trump . Reporter whit, in terms of sheer performance this may have been trumps biggest as president. Keep in mind, north korea is known as the hermit kingdom. North Korean Leaders are famously reclusive. The idea of setting up something impromptu is really unheard of especially in this dramatic nati fashion on the border, but as i mentioned, the north korean Nuclear Program is fully in place. Theres not been any progress towards even an agreement in terms of scaling it back. The big question is whether this symbolism, the big gamble that the president has made, succeeding at least in a diplomatic way where his predecessors failed, whether or not it would lead to some kind of agreement to actually end that Nuclear Program. The important question, jon karl in seoul, south korea for us. Thank you. Dan . Whit and jon, thank you very much. Lets bring in our chief anchor George Stephanopoulos who will be hosting this week later this morning. George, good morning. Good morning. That was captivating, little chaotic. Even though there was no progress on the underlying denuclearization talks, is just restarting the talks a win . I dont know about win or lose. As jon just pointed out, this was the dramatic headline, the dramatic photo, that the president wanted. Hes a showman. He pulled it off. Today there is no question about that, but when you are looking first politically, and then substance, the president had seemed at first a successful meeting in singapore with kim jongun. About a year ago. That didnt change his Approval Ratings one way or another. He had a failed summit in hanoi with kim jongun earlier this year. That didnt change his Approval Ratings one way or the other. Im not sure that theres that much political impact. The big question, will this lead to any kind of substantive progress . The president is saying, theres been progress already. His quote this morning was that, under the previous administration, barack obama, negotiations were a fiery mess. Is he right that he has moved the ball forward in any meaningful way . The tensions increased the most when President Trump first came into office, when you had those fiery tweets between him and kim jongun. Fire and fury. Fire and fury, but that tension has clearly gone down. But when you look at the substance, even though the president has had three meetings with kim jongun, not only that the Nuclear Program still in place, his Nuclear Stock pile has actually increased over the last year. It is true thereto not been any longrange Ballistic Missile tests but shortrange tests. He hasnt scaled back his Nuclear Program in any meaningful way. All right, lets go back to the politics for a second. So, you have this kind of interesting split screen, because all week long we watched the democratic president ial candidates i think there are 150 of them on the stage. 23, but whos counting. On stage in these two th lot offighting one another. While theyre fighting we have s thatolly valuable for him . Even though it hasnt moved the needle. It could if thats what people are focused on. Im not sure that is what people are focused on. Even this week has been kind of a mixed bag for President Trump. Hes certainly dominating the headlines overseas. Also taking some criticism for cozying up to Vladimir Putin and seeming to joking for election interference. And cozying up to saudi crown prince, even though its clear that he directed the killing of the american journalist jam saudi american journalist jamal khashoggi. Thats a doubleedged sword for the president. So much will depend on the substantive progress of these meetings. Will russia interfere in our elections again . Will there be a real trade agreement with china . Will we actually make progress on lowering the Nuclear Program in north korea . If that ppen yisillue esidt. In with you, george. George stephanopoulos, as always, thank you. And george, by the way, will have a big show this morning. Hell go oneonone with the 2020 president ial candidates, Julian Castro and Bernie Sanders.
