South Korean President Moon Jae-in will head to the United States next week for talks with President Donald Trump following his historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, a Seoul official said Wednesday.
Moon will head to New York on Sunday for a meeting with Trump the following day on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, Moon's chief press secretary Yoon Young-chan told a press briefing.
Moon is expected to brief Trump on the result of his third summit with North Korea's Kim in Pyongyang.

Moon has said the main objective of his North Korea trip was to break the deadlock in denuclearization talks between the US and the North.
In a joint declaration signed and announced after their two-day talks in Pyongyang, Moon and Kim reaffirmed their efforts to make the Korean Peninsula completely free of nuclear weapons and threats.
The North Korean leader agreed to take additional denuclearization steps, including permanent dismantlement of the country's long-range missile testing facility and launch pads in Dongchang-ri.
The US-North Korea talks have stalled since Trump called off a scheduled trip by his top diplomat, Mike Pompeo, to North Korea, citing a lack of progress in the North's denuclearization process following his historic summit with Kim in Singapore in June. (Yonhap)
