South Korea's national security adviser is in Washington to meet his U.S. counterpart, John Bolton, ahead of an expected summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, officials in Washington and Seoul said.

The United States had asked that the visit be kept quiet due to the issues to be addressed at meetings there, said the official, who declined to be identified.
