US president Donald Trump has offered to meet North Korea leader Kim Jong-un at the demilitarised zone this weekend after the G20 summit.
Trump tweeted Saturday morning from Japan: "After some very important meetings, including my meeting with President Xi of China, I will be leaving Japan for South Korea (with President Moon).
"While there, if Chairman Kim of North Korea sees this, I would meet him at the Border/ DMZ just to shake his hand and say Hello (?)!"
Trump is scheduled to leave South Korea on Sunday and return to Washington.
He told the reporters during a photo-op that he 'put out a feeler' to Kim Jong-un for a potential handshake in the hopes of advancing their friendship, CNN states.
"All I did was put out a feeler if he'd like to meet. He sent me a very beautiful birthday card," Trump told reporters.
"I said if Chairman Kim would want to meet, I'll be at the border. We seem to get along really well.
"Frankly, if I didn't become president, you'd be having a war right now with North Korea. I'll be in South Korea. I let him know, and we'll see.
"We'll see each other for two minutes. That's all we can. But that will be fine."
The White House declined to comment on whether Trump was scheduled to go to the DMZ.
U.S. special representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun said on Friday the United States was ready to hold constructive talks with North Korea to follow through on a denuclearisation agreement reached by the two countries last year, South Korea's foreign ministry said.
Biegun told his South Korean counterpart, Lee Do-hoon, that Washington wanted to make "simultaneous, parallel" progress on the agreement reached at a summit between Trump and Kim in Singapore last year, the ministry said in a statement.
Both sides agreed to establish new relations and work towards denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
Trump's last summit with Kim fell apart in Vietnam in February when both sides failed to agree on terms for curbing North Korea's nuclear programme in exchange for sanctions relief.
