    Lee urges Trump to solve North Korea issue after Middle East deal

    President Lee Jae Myung asked U.S. President Donald Trump to take the lead in peacefully resolving the North Korean issue, during a brief conversation on the sidelines of the G7 summit in France, the presidential office said. Senior presidential spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said Trump asked Lee about recent developments in inter-Korean relations in a written briefing, Tuesday. Lee replied that he hoped Trump would lead efforts for a peaceful resolution of the North Korean issue, just as he had helped conclude the Middle East conflict. Kang was referring to the tentative U.S.-Iran peace deal announced Sunday, which ends more than three months of war in the region. "President Trump responded by expressing his willingness to work toward resolving the North Korean issue," Kang added. The exchange took place during a group photo session at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, where South Korea was invited as a guest country to the annual gathering of the seven member states — Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the U.S. As leaders assembled for the photograph, Lee

N. Korea halts foreign tourism abruptly amid concerns over influencers

North Korea unexpectedly halted its newly resumed foreign tourism program early this month, just weeks after reopening its borders to international visitors in February. Analysts suggest that the decision may be linked to the rapid spread of unfiltered content by travel influencers, which has provided unprecedented glimpses into the secretive state. The country had reintroduced foreign group tours in the Rason Special Economic Zone, marking the first time since early 2020 that international tourists were allowed in following the COVID-19 lockdown. However, travel agencies specializing in North Korea report that the program was suspended entirely earlier this month.
