Trump most recently met with Moon at the White House last month. The two leaders have been in frequent contact amid a push to get North Korean leader Kim Jong Un Kim Jong UnSatellite images indicate North Korea preparing for massive military parade South Korea warns of underwater missile test launch by North Korea Trump says he didn't share classified information following Woodward book MORE to abandon his nuclear program.

Those efforts have been scrambled in recent weeks after North Korea was said to have launched short-range projectiles, the first such tests since 2017.

Trump has said he's looking into the test launches, but has expressed faith that Kim will come back to the negotiating table because of the economic incentives.

"The relationship continues, but we’ll see what happens," he said last week. "I know they want to negotiate, they’re talking about negotiating, but I don’t think they’re ready to negotiate.”

Trump has met one-on-one with Kim twice in the past year. The two held negotiations in Singapore last summer and engaged in talks in Vietnam earlier this year. The latter summit between the two leaders ended abruptly and without concrete next steps toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
