They've verbally sparred from afar over the last year or so, as tensions have risen over the testing of missiles and trade sanctions have been intensified. But it's been announced that US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un are ready to have face-to-face talks.
Mr Trump has accepted an invitation to a meeting, while Mr Kim has agreed to halt nuclear testing. It's quite a development after so much rancour, which Mr Trump has called "great progress".
But the BBC's Laura Bicker, in Seoul, says it remains to be seen what North Korea wants. And how did this change come about - was it all about sanctions?
US criticised over metal tariffs
While Donald Trump's relations with North Korea appear to be improving, he's coming in for criticism abroad for signing off tariffs of 25% on steel imports to the US, and 10% on aluminium imports. China's called this a "serious attack" on international trade, while France's government has said there will be "only losers" from a potential escalation in protectionism. Some have predicted this could end in an all-out trade war, with senior figures in Mr Trump's Republican Party stating their opposition to the tariffs. But the president says they're important in cutting the US's trade deficit. So, what impact might they have when they come into effect in 15 days' time? And what links Mr Trump to Abraham Lincoln and Ferris Bueller?

On the face of it this is good news but I don't trust either of these guys....just looking after their own personal interests. I wonder where they are going to meet?
