SEOUL—A deadlock in U.S.-North Korea denuclearization talks is prompting South Korea’s leader to re-evaluate the pace of his engagement with the North. On Monday, a spokesman for South Korean President Moon Jae-in acknowledged that further inter-Korean engagement could be delayed, after President Donald Trump scrapped Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s planned visit to North Korea, citing a lack of progress in nuclear negotiations. Inter-Korean engagement is a core element of Mr. Moon’s 15-month-old presidency.
