Moon often argues that South Korea has no choice but to recognise the North Korean regime under Kim Jong-un as the leader of a reclusive neighbour.
Trump wants to tighten an economic vise and has raised the possibility of military force as the North approaches the capability to threaten America with a nuclear-tipped missile. Moon has considerable experience in implementing this policy, having been an integral part of it when he served as former President Roh Moo-hyun's chief of staff.
The US has sent warships, aircraft, and a nuclear submarine to the Korean waters to intimidate Pyongyang.
Park, who also served as co-chairman of Moon's presidential campaign team, is expected to meet key Chinese officials on the sidelines of the forum to discuss the ways to fix bilateral relations, the official told Yonhap. The leaders agreed to strengthen the alliance.
Contrary to Trump, President Moon's "strategic patience" with Kim Jon-un has not exhausted. No specific timing was set.
If the Moon administration can find answers to these extremely hard but essential questions, and win support from its American, Chinese, and other regional counterparts, the Korean Peninsula will be in a much better place.
The U.S. Senate would need to approve the new sanctions next, before they could be implemented. "Aside from humanitarian aid, North Korea should not get something for nothing", they said. It will be headed by a veteran operations officer to harness and direct the spy agency's efforts in addressing the nuclear and ballistic missile threats.
North Korea called such assertions "pure ignorance". Because taking measures to forcibly change North Korea's conduct runs counter to Beijing's strategic interests in these ways.
In 1997, a member of Kim Jong Un's extended family who defected was fatally shot on a South Korean street by assailants from the North.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Thursday that the commission plans to have its work completed by 2018. Additional Commission members will be named at a later time .
The U.S. and North Korea aren't now involved in any diplomacy.
There is also the question of the US' recent deployment of the THAAD anti-missile defence system in South Korea.
"They agreed the United Kingdom and Republic of Korea would remain close partners on a wide range of issues, including trade, defence and security". The person wasn't authorized to publicly discuss the diplomacy and demanded anonymity. In this regard, North Korea said it would deal with two U.S. citizens detained by its security service in accordance with the law. The U.S. side comprised Suzanne DiMaggio at the New America think tank, former United Nations ambassador Thomas Pickering, retired four-star Adm. William Fallon and former State Department nuclear negotiator Robert Einhorn.
South Korea's new President Moon Jae-In on Friday scrapped state-issued school history textbooks introduced by his ousted predecessor, saying they represented an "outdated and one-sided" view of the past, his office said.
In addition, the Japanese government did not mention Moon's call for addressing the history issue, an allusion to Japan's 1910-1945 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. I will go to Beijing and I will go to Tokyo.
China could negotiate an agreement where it provides for North Korea's security - guaranteeing Pyongyang protection with its nuclear arsenal - thereby creating the conditions for the North to relinquish its nuclear program.
The conservative government under Park, who has been impeached, began publishing the new textbooks this year despite opposition from liberal critics, who saw them as an attempt to glorify the dictatorship of her late father Park Chung Hee.
Moon will not easily be able to step backwards regarding the USA -installed Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missile-interception system, despite his campaign pledge to block the installation so that relations with neighboring countries could be improved. China contends the system's radar ranges into its territory and threatens its security. An intensified North Korean threat naturally raises fears in South Korea of America's will and ability to come to its defense, and Seoul and Washington should jointly agree on measures created to sustain confidence in American commitments.
