They will also discuss the U.S. president's own upcoming summit with the North Korean leader, a statement said. Earlier this week, Trump expressed a preference for holding the "big event" with Kim in the demilitarized zone between the two Koreas, where Moon and Kim met. He also said Singapore was in contention to host what will be the first summit between a U.S. and a North Korean leader. During his presidential campaign, Trump complained that South Korea does not do enough to financially support the American military commitment. Trump hinted that the release of Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak Song and Tony Kim was in the offing, but again was sparing on the details.
