South Korea has suspended tours of the inter-Korean border village of Panmunjom ahead of President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit, amid speculation that he could meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ahead of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit.
Seoul’s unification ministry said on Monday that it will not conduct any special tours of the Joint Security Area (JSA) “from late October to early November,” a move that appears aimed at clearing the schedule for a potential second Panmunjom meeting between the two leaders.
