NORTH KOREA/SOUTH KOREA/SUMMIT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “South Korean President Moon Jae-in has a message from President Donald Trump to relay to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, South Korean diplomatic sources told CNN Friday…Trump and Moon met at the White House a week ago to discuss plans for reviving the diplomatic process between the US and North Korea. At the meeting, South Korea and the US ‘identified we are on the same page and on what needs to be done,’ noting that ‘the utility of the top down approach is still there,’ adding that ‘there is no daylight between the US and South Korea,’ a source said. The Blue House believes that South Korea is ‘the architect’ of the diplomatic process, a source said, and it is trying to reignite the momentum of dialogue toward another North Korea-South Korea summit which would could then lead to a third US-North Korea summit.”
