Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump will visit South Korea next month amid questions about his stalled nuclear talks with Kim Jong Un.

The White House said Wednesday Trump would make the stop as part of a trip to Asia to attend the G20 summit in Japan.

"President Trump and President Moon will continue their close coordination on efforts to achieve the final, fully verified denuclearization of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea," the White House said.
