[On-point] What's on the agenda when S. Korea's Lee meets Trump this month?

With a summit between the leaders of South Korea and the United States expected to take place in Washington this month, it is set to be a major test for President Lee's foreign policy.

For more on this, we're joined by Professor Andrew Millard, Assistant Professor of International Relations at Changwon National University.

Professor Millard, thanks for joining us this morning.

Security issues are expected to top the agenda when Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump meet, right? The two countries' defense chiefs recently talked about a "modernized alliance" in a phone call. What does this mean for the two countries' security cooperation?

Another major security issue is burden-sharing for U.S. Forces Korea, as Trump has repeatedly said South Korea needs to pay more for defense costs. What do you think South Korea must secure at a minimum in the negotiations, given Trump's unpredictability?

There's also been a report that the two sides may discuss South Korea's role in case of a Chinese attack on Taiwan. Could the Taiwan issue also be on the agenda when the two leaders meet?

North Korea has said the personal relationship between Kim Jong-un and Trump are 'not bad' but it's not giving up its nuclear weapons. What's your take on a possible meeting between Kim and Trump? Do you think they'll be able to meet again?

Alright Professor Millard. Thank you so much for your insight today. We appreciate it.
