SK’s president to visit the White House

US President Donald Trump will host his new South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in at the White House late this month for talks on containing North Korea’s nuclear program, described by Washington as a “clear and present danger.”

“President Trump and President Moon will discuss ways to further strengthen the ironclad” US-South Korea alliance during the June 29-30 talks, a White House statement said.

The leaders will seek to “advance cooperation on economic and global issues” and “will also coordinate on North Korea-related issues, including countering the growing North Korean nuclear and missile threats,” it added.

The South Korean leader, who was sworn in last month, favors engagement with North Korea to bring it to the negotiating table, rather than the hardline stance taken by the government of predecessor Park Geun-hye.
