Trump to meet Moon in South Korea in late June

US President Donald Trump will meet with President Moon Jae-in in South Korea in late June in conjunction with his trip to Japan for the G20 summit.


The White House announced the plan on Wednesday.


It said Trump and Moon will continue their close coordination on efforts to achieve the final, fully verified denuclearization of North Korea. They will also discuss ways to strengthen the US-South Korea alliance.


This will be President Trump's second visit to South Korea. His first trip was in November 2017.


North Korea restarted missile testing earlier this month in violation of UN sanctions. Analysts say Trump is trying to pressurize it by confirming its alliances in the region.
