Trump, Moon Discuss Korean Peninsula in Phone Call

US President Donald Trump and his South Korean counterpart Moon Jae-in discussed Korean Peninsula issues in a phone call on Friday EST, the White House said in a statement on Saturday.

The call also covered developments related to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the statement said, adding that the two leaders are committed to continue close communications on these matters.

The presidential Blue House of South Korea said earlier Saturday that Moon made in-depth consultations with Trump on ways to move forward the peace process of the Korean Peninsula.

The call, made at the request of the U.S. president, lasted about 30 minutes, the Blue House said.
