SEOUL, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will travel to Washington to hold a summit with U.S. President Donald Trump on Aug. 25, Lee's office said Tuesday, with trade and defense issues expected to be at the top of the agenda.
The three-day visit will be Lee's first trip to the United States since taking office in June, presidential spokeswoman Kang Yu-jung said at a press briefing.
"The two leaders plan to discuss ways to develop the Korea-U.S. alliance into a future comprehensive strategic alliance in response to the changing international security and economic environment," Kang said.
"They will also discuss ways to further strengthen the robust South Korea-U.S. combined defense posture and to cooperate to establish peace and achieve denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula," she added.
