| South Korea's Moon, Trump to Meet in US, Discuss North Korea |

| [VOA] SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA ‐ South Korean President Moon Jae-in will travel to the United States in two weeks for a summit with President Donald Trump on the stalemated North Korean nuclear diplomacy. It would be their first meeting since Trump’s second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi last month collapsed because of disputes on U.S.-led sanctions. The breakdown of that summit put Moon, a liberal who has shuttled between Washington and Pyongyang, in a difficult position on how to further engage North Korea and facilitate the nuclear diplomacy. Moon’s office said he will visit the United States April 10-11 discuss how to strengthen their countries’ alliance and achieve North Korea’s complete denuclearization and peace on the Korean Peninsula. The White House said Trump and first lady Melania Trump will welcome Moon and his wife, Kim Jung-sook, to the White House April 11. It said in a statement the alliance between the U.S. and South Korea "remains the linchpin of peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in the region." |
