The presidential office said on the 16th that U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to visit Korea for two days and one night from the 29th to the 30th to attend the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) meetings in Gyeongju.
Wi Sung-lac, director of the Office of National Security at the presidential office, took a related question at a briefing held that afternoon at the Yongsan presidential office and said, "President Trump will arrive on the 29th and is expected to stay probably until the 30th," adding, "There will be a South Korea–U.S. summit around that time."
Wi added, "If there is a U.S.–China summit, it will take place during that stay."
However, Wi said, "It is difficult to speak in detail," adding, "Because the leaders' schedules are subject to change and there are security issues, it seems difficult to say on which day and how it will proceed."
Meanwhile, the presidential office predicted that the recent kidnapping and confinement case in Cambodia could be discussed at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit to be held ahead of the APEC summit in Gyeongju. Wi said, "Among the various issues to be discussed there, we are also reviewing this related matter," adding, "Many countries are involved, and it will naturally become an important issue."
