President Donald Trump's relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has raised plenty of eyebrows — and it's been memorialized in the White House, where a photo of the two leaders now hangs in the West Wing.
Trump and Kim have met three times during Trump's presidency. They gathered in June 2018 for a nuclear summit in Singapore; in February in Hanoi, Vietnam; and last month at the Demilitarized Zone separating North Korea and South Korea.
The photo in the White House, posted on Twitter on Monday by Jennifer Jacobs, Bloomberg's senior White House reporter, shows the two leaders at the DMZ, which Trump visited after the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.

After the meeting at the DMZ, Trump used Twitter to compliment Kim, who oversees one of the most repressive governments in the world.
"It was great being with Chairman Kim Jong Un of North Korea this weekend. We had a great meeting, he looked really well and very healthy - I look forward to seeing him again soon,"Trump wrote.
He added: "In the meantime, our teams will be meeting to work on some solutions to very long term and persistent problems. No rush, but I am sure we will ultimately get there!"
