South Korean, U.S. leaders set for first summit

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung will hold his first summit with U.S. President Donald Trump early Tuesday morning, Korea time, in Washington, D.C. President Lee arrived at Joint Base Andrews after a two-day visit to Japan. His first engagement was a dinner with members of the Korean-American community.

The summit agenda includes North Korea, alliance modernization, and follow-up on last month’s tariff deal. Both leaders will also attend a luncheon after the meeting. A South Korean business delegation, including Samsung Electronics Chairman Lee Jae-yong, SK Chairman Chey Tae-won, LG Chairman Koo Kwang-mo, and Hanwha Vice Chairman Kim Dong-kwan, is accompanying the visit.

Specific investment plans tied to the tariff agreement may be announced. Following the summit, Lee will join a business roundtable and deliver a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
