President Trump will visit South Korean President Moon Jae-in in South Korea next month to discuss plans to “achieve the final, fully verified denuclearization” of North Korea, the White House announced Wednesday.
Trump’s stop in South Korea will come before he heads to Osaka, Japan, for the G-20 summit on June 28–29.
The meeting comes as North Korea has launched two missile tests this month, which Trump dismissed as “very standard stuff.”
“They’re short-range and I don’t consider that a breach of trust at all,” Trump said in an interview with Politico.
“And, you know, at some point I may. But at this point no,” Trump said. “These were short-range missiles and very standard stuff. Very standard.”
Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un met in February to discuss denuclearizing North Korea, but Trump walked away from the meeting without securing a deal.
