Moon to Trump, hopes to help put denucl­earisa­tion talks with North KoreaSouth Korean President Moon Jae-in will meet US President Donald Trump on Thursday hoping to help put denuclearisation talks with North Korea back on track after a failed summit between the United States and North Korean leaders in February. North Korea’s Kim discusses expected summit with Trump in talks in ChinaThe White House has said Trump and Moon will discuss North Korea and bilateral issues, but US officials have declined to provide details. The Hanoi meeting collapsed amid conflicting demands by North Korea for sanctions relief and US insistence on its complete denuclearisation. He said he hoped North Korea would respond positively. Moon’s top nuclear envoy Lee Do-hoon said on Friday that sanctions were necessary to deter North Korea from “making bad decisions,” but could not solve all unresolved problems.
