At the White House, President Trump and Lee Jae Myung praised each other’s eagerness to talk to North Korea’s leader — even if he doesn’t want to talk to them.

President Donald Trump has greeted South Korea's new president, Lee Jae Myung, by claiming a “Purge or Revolution” is happening there while threatening to stop doing business with Seoul.

The U.S. President said he wanted to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un this year and was open to further trade talks with South Korea even as he lobbed new criticisms at the visiting Asian ally.
