Leaders at odds on whether to isolate or engage Kim Jong-un regime
President Donald Trump welcomed South Korea’s Moon Jae-In to the White House Friday morning for talks on how to rein in Pyongyang’s nuclear and ballistic missile programmes, with the leaders at odds on whether to isolate or engage the regime.
“We have many options, with respect to North Korea, ” Trump declared as he headed into an Oval Office meeting to be followed by a joint declaration with the newly-elected president.
Both the US president and his South Korean counterpart – making his first foreign trip since his resounding victory at the polls – sounded an upbeat note ahead of the meeting.
