President Moon Jae-in and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed ways on how to quickly resume talks aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear program by maintaining the current momentum for dialogue. Trump also supported Seoul's plan to send food products to the North, Cheong Wa Dae said.
"President Moon had phone talks with U.S. President Donald Trump for 35 minutes from 10:00 p.m., Tuesday (KST) and briefed him on Seoul's position about North Korea's short-range projectiles including tactical-guided weapons over the weekend," Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Ko Min-jung said in a statement.
The senior presidential aide added the leaders also exchanged opinion about food shortage-related issues in North Korea. "Trump told Moon Seoul's plan to supply food products to North Korea comes in a timely fashion by adding the plan would be a positive measure," Ko said.
She said the two leaders stayed together in responding North Korea's provocations in a "thoughtful manner."
