문재인 대통령, 오늘 저녁 트럼프 대통령과 환담•만찬
After arriving in Seoul straight from the G20 summit in Osaka, South Korean President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump met for the eighth time this evening.
For more details, we go live to our Kim Mok-yeon who's standing by at the Blue House for us.
Mok-yeon, what are the leaders doing exactly?
Daniel,
President Trump arrived at Osan Air Base just minutes ago, and is expected to soon meet President Moon Jae-in at the Sangchunjae reception hall... at the Presidential Office of Cheong Wa Dae.
Trump's arrival in South Korea was delayed by an hour-and-a-half than orignally scheduled.
Shortly, the two leaders are set to attend a banquet at the top office,... their last schedule together this evening.
Come tomorrow,… at around 11 AM, Moon and Trump will hold what would be their eighth summit,... which will carry over to a working lunch and then a joint press conference at around 1 PM.
What’s more interesting at this point than what’s on their schedule- is, of course the follow-up discussions to President Trump’s tweet this morning.
Are there any developments?
Well, Daniel, we already know that the two presidents vowed to work together on... when they met in Osaka.
The details haven't been revealed,... but the assumption is they meant cooperation on restarting nuclear talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
During his press conference a few hours ago,... President Trump again emphasized his good relations with the North Korean leader,... claiming that if he had not been the U.S. President,... a war might have broken out with North Korea.
He also expressed his intention to meet with Kim during his stay in Korea,... and stressed that he will make sure that Kim Jong-un is aware of it
If the two meet, it will be their third time seeing each other, after their historic first summit in Singapore last June and their second summit in Vietnam in February.
In the meantime, Korea's Presidential spokesperson Ko Min-jung told reporters that... regarding the possibilities of a third Kim-Trump summit,... nothing has been decided yet.
But she added that there's no change in Seoul's position in welcoming the resumption of Seoul-Washington talks.
Back to you Daniel.
