WASHINGTON: South Korean President Moon Jae-in meets with Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday to try and find a path forward from the debris of a failed nuclear summit between the US president and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
"The two leaders will have in-depth talks ... to coordinate their stance on setting up a peace regime on the Korean peninsula through complete denuclearization," Yoon Do-han, the senior South Korean presidential press secretary said ahead of the visit. In Washington, the Hanoi outcome brought Trump praise from Republican legislators who'd worried he would give too much away in pursuit of big headlines.
"Sometimes you have to walk," Trump said, slipping into his real estate dealer's lingo, after the Hanoi meeting.He has staked his presidency on engagement with isolated North Korea, pushing for a resumption of South Korean tourism to the North's Mount Kumgang and operations at the Kaesong Industrial Complex, where companies from the South used to be staffed by workers from the North.
