Stephen Biegun's reported comments come a day before President Trump is to visit South Korea for two days.

Talks between Mr. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam in February ended early without any agreement. But during their first summit in Singapore last year, Kim pledged to work toward complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and the two leaders agreed to improve bilateral relations and build lasting peace on the peninsula.
