Moon won't discuss possible summit with North Korea's Kim

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — South Korean President Moon Jae-in says he hopes his efforts to engage rival North Korea at the Olympics will lead to better ties between Washington and Pyongyang — and help to set up talks on ridding the North of its nuclear bombs.

But Moon wouldn't answer a question from The Associated Press about what needs to happen before he'll take North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un up on his invitation for a summit.

Moon has yet to accept the North Korean offer. He's said the Koreas should "create an environment" so that the summit can happen.
