South Korea's Moon Jae-in & North Korea's Kim Jong-un May Meet
--------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, South Korean President Moon Jae-in says he'd be willing to
sit down with North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un. The potential meeting
comes after high-level officials from North and South Korea met in the
Demilitarized Zone between the two countries for the first official
talks in more than two years. At the talks, North Korea said it would
send a delegation to the Winter Olympic Games being held next month in
South Korea. The diplomacy is seeking to de-escalate the threat of
nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, which has been largely sparked by
President Trump's repeated threats to launch a nuclear strike against
North Korea.
