Alex Vagonis, the college girlfriend of Otto Warmbier, has spoken out after his death, calling him her "soulmate" who helped her become a better human being.
Their remarks were a departure from a Twitter posting on Tuesday in which Trump suggested the United States was moving on to other options to confront North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's regime.
Rodong Sinmun claimed Donald Trump was considering a pre-emptive strike on North Korea in order to divert attention from a political crisis in the United States and said the president was in a "tough situation" at home.
Yesterday's discussions replace a sprawling strategic and economic dialogue held annually under the Obama administration.
But tensions remain - particularly over China's building of artificial islands in disputed South China Sea waters.
Both sides also discussed about increasing mutual trust and working toward a long-term risk reduction effort between the militaries and government of two countries.
Moon has said many South Koreans did not accept a deal reached by his conservative predecessor and Japan's Abe in 2015 to resolve the issue of Korean "comfort women" - a euphemism for women forced to work in the Japanese military's wartime brothels. Trump wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, a day after Warmbier died following his return from captivity in a coma.
At least some North Korean officials are changing their rhetoric following Trump's announcement and Warmbier's death.
"While I greatly appreciate the efforts of President Xi & China to help with North Korea, it has not worked out".
"But for some reason that I do not know, this entire THAAD process was accelerated".

Yanez had testified that he feared Castile was reaching for a firearm he had disclosed he had in his possession. More details and videos from the Philando Castile case are being made public. "I wish this town was safer".
Otto Warmbier's longtime girlfriend has made an emotional tribute at a vigil at the University of Virginia Tuesday following his death just days after being released from North Korea.
Pictures published by North Korea media showed a large march said to have been staged by "workers".
"The latest action by the North.is a grave provocation and a wanton violation of the armistice", Jeon Dong-Jin, first deputy director of the South's Joint Chief of Staff, told reporters, referring to the treaty which ended the 1950-53 war.
Medical officials said Warmbier suffered "severe neurological injury" and his parents Fred and Cindy Warmbier said he fell victim to "awful, torturous mistreatment" by North Korea.
In an apparent attempt to smooth tensions, Mattis said that China and the USA have the same end goals in mind when it comes to North Korea.
After all, this is what North Korea has done with many Americans in the past.
The Rand analyst said China's perpetual security concern is reflected in its proposal that the USA and South Korea "freeze" routine joint exercises, in exchange for Pyongyang suspending its missile and nuclear programs. Such talks are a seemingly distant goal since Kim is believed to see his weapons of mass destruction as a guarantee against invasion.
Saying that an ICBM test could happen "in the not too distant future", Moon also called on China to do more to reign in Pyongyang's rapidly progressing missile and nuclear programs.
Trump has had high hopes for cooperation from China to exert influence over North Korea, leaning heavily on Chinese President Xi Jinping for his assistance.
