This is a wonderful opportunity to understand or discuss “the latest development in US-Korean relations especially after the 2nd Trump-Kim summit in Vietnam, as well as the history of conflict on the Korean peninsula and the prospects for peace between North and South Korea under the leadership of Kim Jong Un and Moon Jae-in.”
