UNITED NATIONS - South Korean President Moon Jae-in on Tuesday proposed that the United Nations create an"international peace zone" to replace the peninsula's divide, saying the idea would both reassure the North and inspire the world.

Mr Moon said the zone would offer an added incentive for Mr Kim to give up nuclear weapons, the focus of more than a year of on-again, off-again talks between North Korea and the United States. He acknowledged steep challenges, including removing the estimated 380,000 mines in the Demilitarised Zone, but said that the peace proposal would boost demining efforts.

Mr Trump has nonetheless insisted that he likes Mr Kim and trusts him, saying that the North Korean leader wrote him"beautiful" letters including for his birthday.
