The leaders of North and South Korea agreed on Friday to work to remove all nuclear weapons from the Korean Peninsula. They also agreed to pursue talks with the US about declaring a “official end to the Korean War”. This was an especially big deal because this was the first time a North Korean leader had stepped on South Korean territory in a long while.

This relates to the US becoming involved in the Korean War in an effort to “contain” communism.
