South Korean President to Discuss Denuclearization and Vaccines at White House Meeting
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

South Korean President Moon Jae-in is meeting today with U.S. President
Joe Biden at the White House. It's only the second time Biden has hosted
a world leader in person, after a meeting with Japan's prime minister in
April. The South Korean leader is seeking U.S. help in securing
vaccines; in exchange, Biden is reportedly seeking South Korean
investment in U.S. semiconductor plants as the world faces a shortage of
microchips. The two are also expected to discuss denuclearization of the
Korean Peninsula.
