South Korean president lobbies US leaders on North Korea policy

South Korea's new President Moon Jae-In lobbied US leaders on Thursday to back his policy of engagement with North Korea, as the Trump administration vowed to increase pressure on Pyongyang over its nuclear program.
On his first overseas trip since his landslide election victory this month, Moon met with Congressional leaders ahead of a dinner with his counterpart Donald Trump. The Trump administration has been trying to isolate the North Korean regime following a series of missile tests, including by persuading China - Pyongyang's main diplomatic ally - to help bring Kim Jong-Un into line.
But speaking on board his flight to the United States on Wednesday, Moon said Seoul and Washington should offer concessions to Pyongyang if it complies with their demands, according to multiple South Korean reports.
