Washington
PRESIDENT Donald Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in may present a unified front over North Korea at the White House on Thursday and Friday, but tensions over trade could puncture their effort to strengthen the US-South Korea relationship.
Mr Moon, making his first trip to the United States since becoming his country's leader, will join Mr Trump and his wife, Melania, for dinner in the White House State Dining Room Thursday night ahead of meetings on Friday that are expected to touch on North Korea's nuclear programme, China's role in the region and the US military's THAAD missile defence system.
