[On-point] What to expect when S. Korea's Lee meets Trump in Washington next week

On the diplomatic front.

President Lee is set to hold a summit with his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump next Monday in Washington.

For more on what to expect from the meeting, we're joined by Robert Kelly, Professor of International Relations at Pusan National University.

Professor Kelly, thanks for joining us this morning.

1. This will be President Lee's first trip to the U.S. since taking office in June. Could you tell us more about the significance of this visit?

2. President Lee has previously talked about pursuing 'pragmatic diplomacy.' Do you think we'll see that in action when he meets President Trump next week?

3. North Korea says South Korea can't be its diplomatic partner, even as Seoul tries to ease tensions with Pyongyang. Could the meeting between Presidents Lee Jae Myung and Donald Trump open the door to talks with Kim Jong-un?

4. South Korea and the U.S. kicked off their annual military drills this week. A lot of attention is now on how the Korean government will handle the security issue, especially cost-sharing for American troops stationed here in Korea. How do you see that playing out?

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