Immediately after taking office, Trump had exchanged vitriolic rhetoric with and made threats to North Korea after the latter carried out numerous medium/long range missile tests and a nuclear test in September 2017, causing some to fear that war was inevitable on the Korean peninsula.  However in March 2018, Trump announced he would hold a summit with North Korea Chairman Kim Jong Un, making him the first U.S. president to have bilateral talks with a North Korean leader.  The first summit was held in Singapore in June 2018, a second in Hanoi in February 2019, and a third informal summit in the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in June 2019 - during which he became the first sitting U.S. president to step foot on North Korean soil. During the period of the summits, North Korea had halted testing of long/medium range missiles, as well as nuclear testing (and outside of a few short range missiles in early May 2019, North Korea hasn't tested any weapons since November 2017.)
