At a conference in central Seoul, Acting U.S. Ambassador to South Korea Joseph Yun said Trump will attend the multilateral gathering scheduled for Oct. 31 to Nov. 1 in the historic city of Gyeongju.
Stressing the strong alliance between the two countries, Yun expressed expectations for another meeting between Trump and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung on the sidelines of the APEC summit, following their "successful" talks in Washington last month.
But uncertainties still remain over whether Trump will make another trip to Seoul, even as pundits here are already speculating that some developments involving North Korea could emerge.
Trump has repeatedly boasted of his close relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, while the Lee administration has made conciliatory moves to engage with Pyongyang. These could create opportunities for high-level summits or breakthroughs in talks that might reshape inter-Korean relations and broader regional security.
