U.S. President Donald Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, meeting for first time, described admiration for each other, and pledged cooperation.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and White House leader Donald Trump will meet next week for a summit set to touch on the upkeep of American troops on the peninsula.

Seen as a pragmatic approach to diplomacy, Lee’s visit to Tokyo is a bid to present a united front against Trump’s trade pressure.
