INTER-KOREA SUMMIT DAY: With the 13-hour time difference between Washington and Seoul, the historic summit between South Korea’s Moon Jae-in and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un will happen late tonight East Coast time. The highly-choreographed meeting will be rich in symbolism as Kim will step across the military demarcation line between the two Koreas, the first North Korean leader to do so, and along with Moon plant a pine tree before getting to work.

Hopes are high for some kind of substantive agreement to be signed by the two leaders, but South Korea’s Blue House is not saying exactly what could be achieved.
