​The leaders of South Korea and the U.S. met again some 40 days since the collapsed Hanoi summit. President Moon made it official that he will seek a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in the near future. Trump asked Moon to inform him of the regime's position as soon as Seoul finds out more about it. The two agreed that a top-down approach is critical to the Korean Peninsula peace process. The American leader stressed the door is also open to dialogue with Pyongyang.
