US national security advisor meets with South Korean officials to discuss major bilateral issues amid Seoul's trade spat with Japan and stalled nuclear talks with North Korea
In this Dec. 26, 2018, file photo, national security adviser John Bolton attends a meeting with President Donald Trump and senior military leadership at Al Asad Air Base, Iraq.
On his arrival in South Korea late on Tuesday, Bolton tweeted that he was "looking forward to productive meetings with the leadership of our important ally and partner so vital to Indo-Pacific security and prosperity". Japan, which has denied that a dispute over compensation for South Koreans forced to work for Japanese occupiers during World War Two is behind the export curbs, is now considering removing South Korea from a Japanese "white list" of countries with minimum trade restrictions, which would impose tougher conditions.
Denuclearisation talks between North Korea and the United States have stalled after a second summit between US President Donald Trump and the North's leader Kim Jong-un in Vietnam in February broke down.
