South Korea’s new leader vowed to stand firmly with President Donald Trump against North Korea as he made his first visit as president to Washington.
President Moon Jae-in offered an emotional tribute Wednesday to Marines who fought in a fierce battle in the Korean War that helped in the mass evacuation of Korean civilians, including his own parents.
Moon said that without those American sacrifices, he would not be here today and played down his past advocacy of a softer approach toward the nuclear-armed nation.
‘Together we will achieve the dismantlement of North Korea’s nuclear program, peace on the Korean Peninsula and eventually peace in Northeast Asia,’ Moon said, after laying a wreath at a Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, to launch his first overseas trip since taking office last month.
