President Biden is hosting South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House today.

It's President Biden's second White House meeting with a foreign leader since taking office.

They may talk about the approach to North Korea after nuclear talks collapsed under the prior U.S. administration and the North fired short-range missiles two months ago.

Other topics of discussion could include COVID and China.
