Obama to meet with South Korean leaders

Former President Obama will be in South Korea Monday, giving a speech at an international forum hosted by a local newspaper.

The Korea Herald said Obama will also meet informally with former President Lee Myung-bak and current President Moon Jae-in.

The meeting comes shortly after President Trump hosted Moon at the White House.

{mosads}During a joint press conference on Friday, Trump struck a hard stance on North Korea, saying “patience is over” and calling for an aggressive international effort to curb the state’s nuclear program. 

“Together, we are facing the threat of the reckless and brutal regime in North Korea,” Trump said at the White House alongside Moon. “The nuclear and ballistic missile programs of that regime require a determined response.”

Next week, Trump will attend the Group of 20 summit in Hamburg, Germany.

He’s expected to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin and also has meetings scheduled with Moon, United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Chinese President Xi Jinping and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, among others.
