"The two leaders will discuss issues of mutual interest, including North Korea, Syria, and reform of the United Nations, as well as other common threats and challenges," the White House said in a statement.
The UN Security Council adopted a series of sanctions last year in response to the North's nuclear and ballistic missile tests. Trump and Kim are set to meet in Singapore to discuss the denuclearization of the regime.(Yonhap)
