US President Donald Trump said Sunday the US and North Korea are in the "final stage of working out" the surprise quick meeting between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the demilitarized zone of the Korean border.

Trump made the remark in an expanded meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and officials of the two countries.

Trump and Moon have since confirmed that Trump will meet Kim at the border later on Sunday.

Trump arrived in South Korea on Saturday for a two-day visit, following his trip to Osaka for the G20 Summit.

The two leaders will hold a joint news conference following the luncheon, and Trump is scheduled to visit the demilitarized zone near the border after leaving the presidential office.

Because we are at the DMZ anyway at the border, we are at the DMZ. And I look forward to say hello if that all finally works out. I guess there is always a chance that it might work out, but it sounds like the teams  would like it to work out, so that's good."

US President Donald Trump addressed members of the US military on Sunday at an American air base in Osan, just south of Seoul, South Korea, before ending his Asia trip and returning to Washington.

Trump recounted the moment when he stepped across the border at the demilitarised zone into North Korea and became the first sitting US president to do so.

He said he and North Korea's Kim Jong Un "had a very productive meeting".

He also said he tried to sell Kim on the prosperity he believes awaits North Korea if it gives up its nuclear programme.

During his remarks to the service members, Trump called up to the stage US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and, Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and a top White House advisor.

He jokingly called them "beauty and the beast."

"The reason I met with (North Korea leader) Kim Jong Un. And we had a great meeting because we're all in this together and we want to get this thing solved. It's been going on for a long time. And we had a great meeting and it was unexpected. I put out yesterday maybe I'll meet with Chairman Kim and he saw it on social media. Pretty powerful thing, social media. And we just laughed and I said, 'You know? This was unexpected and we're going to keep a lot of thousands of great military people waiting.' But that's what you do. You love your country and it was a good thing to do." (applause)

"As you know (South Korea's) President Moon (Jae-in) , in fact he just called me again. He's so happy, he is so thrilled. And we met at the DMZ (Korean Demilitarised Zone). It was something incredible - I got to see the DMZ. I got to see a lot of your fighting comrades.  And we talked them. In fact, I gave one little speech to a group of guys. I gave another little speech to a group. Then I met with Chairman Kim. Then I came out that I met with President Moon and I gave another speech to a group of guys. Now I'm giving this speech a big group of people (applause). But it is really very... we had a very productive meeting. I outlined the incredible prosperity that awaits North Korea when this whole thing gets settled. They've been talking about this for a long time. But that's a country with tremendous potential and I've had a good relationship with that with Chairman Kim. You know that you see what's happening. It's been a lot different. They were giving us a great briefing right at the DMZ and they said it was so different before we had the meeting, the big summit in Singapore it was different. It was really hostile. You understand it better than, it was really hostile. And since our first meeting in Singapore we got along, we got along we had a great kind of feeling. "

"I actually stepped in with Chairman Kim, I stepped in to North Korea and they say (applause) that's a very historic moment. I think it is a historic moment and a very good moment. And he asked me, 'Would you like to do that?'  And I said, 'It would be my honour'. And we did and we went over the line and joked around and everybody was so happy. And many people I noticed from Korea were literally in tears crying, crying. This is a big thing, it's a big thing."

Hundreds of people gathered in central Seoul on Saturday to either welcome or protest US President Donald Trump's visit to South Korea.

Anti-Trump protesters waved banners and posters, and chanted that Trump was unwelcome in South Korea.

Meanwhile pro-Trump protesters marched around central Seoul to call for a stronger US-South Korea alliance.

With regards to a possible meeting at the demilitarised zone between Trump and North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un, people on both sides were unsure.

Anti-Trump demonstrator Han Kyeong-jun said although he hoped Trump and Kim meet, if Washington continued its anti-North sanctions then peace on the Korean Peninsula would be difficult to achieve.

Park Taewoo, a pro-Trump protester, said he doubted whether a meeting between the leaders would benefit South Korea and its "security interests".

"(US) President (Donald) Trump said he hopes to meet (North Korean Leader) Chairman Kim Jong Un at the DMZ (demilitarised zone). (North Korean) Vice Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui also responded that the North is always open for meetings with the US. We are here today in hope that the peace establishes on the Korean Peninsula, and in doing so, it is very important that the leaders of the two countries (US and North Korea) meet. However, as the US has been doing so far, if it pushes for unilateral dialogue and maintains anti-North Korea sanctions, then I think it will be difficult to achieve."

However, in terms of South Korea's security interest, we are facing a different issue. (Trump meeting Kim Jong Un at the DMZ) will be interesting news for South Korean people, but we should think about if such visit will benefit South Korea for its security interests."

South Koreans on Sunday had mixed reactions to a surprise meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un at the demilitarised zone at the Korean borders.

Min Jung-won, a 26-year-old graduate student, viewed the North Korea-US meeting as an opportunity for the Korean Peninsula to move closer to achieving peace and reunification.

On the other hand, 65-year-old business owner Choi Young-chul expressed a rather sceptical view, saying that both Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in were trying to take advantage of the meeting at DMZ for their own political interests.

Trump and Kim held a quick meeting at the border village Panmunjom earlier the day.

Trump crossed the military demarcation line at Panmunjom and briefly stepped into the North Korean side of the Joint Security Area.

3. SOUNDBITE (Korean) Choi Young-chul, 65, private business owner:

"I think (the meeting) is a one-time event for Trump's re-election, and I think President Moon is trying to take advantage of this meeting."
