U.S. President Donald Trump will visit South Korea and Japan after his historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore on June 12, Japanese media Nikkei reported Sunday.
The dates of Trump's visit to the two countries are not set yet. His primary goal of visiting Seoul and Tokyo would be to brief leaders of South Korea and Japan on his meeting with Kim and above all, to fine-tune diplomatic coordination over North Korea, Nikkei reported, citing unidentified diplomatic sources.

During the meeting, Abe is expected to raise the issue of past abductions of Japanese nationals by North Korea and to urge Trump to push North Korea to abandon short- and medium-range missiles that can reach Japan, Nikkei added.
Nikkei said there was speculation that Chinese President Xi Jinping would visit Singapore when Trump and Kim meet there because China was becoming wary of the U.S. leading the effort to denuclearize North Korea.
