Let's delve deeper into President Trump's Asia trip.
Specifics of his itinerary isn't confirmed, but the world is facinated with what he plans
to get done in South Korea, the second stop of his five nation tour.
Most recently he grabbed attention by confidently saying he is the man to resolve the issues
with Pyongyang.
Hwang Hojun has the full story.
He gave Kim Jong-un the nickname "Rocket Man."
He said North Korea would face "fire and fury" if it doesn't abandon its nuclear ambitions.
And though it would appear the situation has not yet improved, President Trump says he's
a problem solver who will put an end to North Korea's provocations.
In an interview with Fox Business, which aired in the U.S. Wednesday night, Trump called
North Korea a (quote) "very big problem."
He criticized his predecessors for failing to solve it but said confidently said he's
the one who will finally take care of it.
In a year of extraordinary provocations from Pyongyang and heated rhetoric, President Trump's
agenda during his visit to Seoul will be mainly focused on related issues.
The White House said just days ago that a visit to the demilitarized zone is unlikely,
but President Trump himself is not ruling out a surprise trip.
(ENGLISH/REUTERS3210) "I'd rather not say, but you'll be surprised."
All U.S. presidents since Ronald Reagan -- minus the elder George Bush -- have visited the
DMZ, and so did Vice President Mike Pence last April.
So Trump would be breaking with a precedent if he didn't go.
According to an anonymous Cheong Wa Dae official, the Blue House has recommended that President
Trump visit Camp Humphreys, a brand-new military base built for U.S. Forces Korea,... in Pyeongtaek,
about 60 kilometers south of Seoul.
However, the official said whether President Trump decides to visit the demilitarized zone
lies solely with the White House.
