Trump to visit South Korea for talks with Moon Jae-In

US President Donald Trump will make a two-day trip to South Korea after attending the G20 Summit in Osaka, Japan, later this week, the South's presidential Blue House said on Monday.

The announcement comes hours after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said he hoped a letter Trump sent to Kim could pave the way for a revival of stalled nuclear talks.

Pompeo, who spoke of Trump’s letter to Kim before departing from Washington for the Middle East, said the United States was ready to resume talks with North Korea immediately.

“I’m hopeful that this will provide a good foundation for us to begin ... these important discussions with the North Koreans,” Pompeo told reporters.

Trump is scheduled to arrive in Seoul on Saturday and hold summit talks with his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in the following day, reports Yonhap News Agency.

"(They plan to) have in-depth discussions on methods for close coordination between the two nations for the establishment of permanent peace through the complete denuclearization of the Korean peninsula, while further solidifying the South Korea-US alliance," the Presidential Palace''s spokesperson, Ko Min-jung told the media.

Trump''s upcoming visit follows Moon''s invitation to him during their April summit at the White House, Ko added.
