President Donald Trump began his day in South Korea teasing his trip to the DMZ, but would not confirm for certain he would meet with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un.'I understand that they want to meet and I'd love to say hello.

They're trying to work it out,' he said, adding it's 'not so easy.'

But he touted his leadership on North Korea, and repeated his claim there would have been World War III if it weren't for his election.'I'm really the opposite of a war-monger,' Trump said.
