U. S. President Donald Trump’s new national security adviser held talks Thursday with his South Korean and Japanese counterparts, as the U. S. gears up for an unprecedented summit with North Korea.
Bolton met with Chung Eui-yong, the South Korean official who last month conveyed Kim’s offer to Trump to talk about «denuclearization» and halt nuclear and missile tests. Chung was then given the unexpected duty of announcing to journalists in the White House driveway Trump’s surprise agreement to hold a meeting.
South Korea’s president, Moon Jae-in, is due to hold his own summit with Kim on April 27.
Bolton also held talks with Japan’s Shotaro Yachi, whose prime minister, Shinzo Abe, will meet Trump at his Florida resort on Tuesday.
Abe has fostered personal ties with Trump and has been a strong supporter of the U.
