Date, time and formality of Moon-Trump summit still under discussion: Blue House
- 5 years ago
South Korea's presidential office says details like the time, date and formality of the summit between Presidents Moon and Trump is still under discussion.
A Blue House official says the White House suggested it be one-on-one meeting with just the leaders and translators in attendance rather than an expanded summit with diplomats and security chiefs.
While a one-on-one meeting would give both leaders the chance to discuss pending issues more frankly,... the official said the formality of the meeting is still awaiting confirmation.
Speaking onboard Air Force One en route to Argentina, White House Spokesperson Sarah Sanders said the Moon-Trump summit would be a (quote) "pull aside" rather than a formal bilateral meeting.
