- 6 years ago
Amid a recent shift in tone by Pyongyang... President Moon Jae-in is heading over to Washington Monday afternoon.... to sit down with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.
North Korea is expected to dominate their discussions.... with Trump scheduled to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un on June 12th in Singapore.
President Moon will arrive in Washington Monday evening, local time,.... and will spend the night at the Blair House, an official VIP guesthouse at the White House.
The next morning, he is scheduled to meet key Washington figures in charge of foreign and security policies.
As for the most anticipated part of his trip -- a sit-down with Trump -- the Blue House confirmed, that the meeting will be exclusive, with no attendees other than the interpreters.
This is President Moon's third time visiting Washington.... and the fifth meeting between the two leaders.
And this summit comes.... as North Korea abruptly cancelled the high-level talks with South Korea last week... even threatening to scrap its planned summit with Trump.... saying it won't be unilaterally pressured into giving up its nuclear weapons.
