S Korea, US call on DPRK to cease nuclear development, start negotiations

South Korea and the US demand that North Korea ceases its nuclear development and begins negotiations as President Donald Trump is on an official visit in Seoul.

Earlier it was reported that hundreds of people gathered in the center of Seoul to protest against US President Donald Trump’s two-day visit to the country. The demonstrators blame Trump for escalating tensions on the Korean peninsula with his provocative rhetoric, forcing South Korea into buying armaments and attempting to renegotiate the free trade deal between the two countries.

On Tuesday morning, Trump landed at the Osan Air Base in South Korea’s city of Pyeongtaek and headed to the US Army Camp Humphreys garrison, where he was welcomed by the US Army Camp Humphreys garrison. After the visit to South Korea, the US president will travel to China and Vietnam, where he will join the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, and will finish his journey in the Philippines on November 12-14.
