In a bid to salvage broken-down nuclear negotiations with North Korea, U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean leader Moon Jae-in plan to hold a summit next month in Washington, the White House has announced.
The meeting will be the first between the two since the Trump administration's denuclearization negotiations with Pyongyang broke down in late February after a summit in Hanoi. Moon is scheduled to arrive in the U.S. on April 10 and hold a summit with Trump the following day.
"The leaders will have in-depth talks to discuss ways to strengthen the Seoul-Washington alliance and to coordinate their stance on setting up a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula through complete denuclearization," the South Korean presidential office said Friday.
