South Korean President Moon Jae-in proposed setting up an “East Asian Railroad Community” that includes the U.S. and North Korea as he seeks to tamp down rising tensions between the two adversaries.
Moon -- who plans to visit Pyongyang next month for his third summit this year with Kim Jong Un -- said in an address Wednesday that the new economic community would connect his country’s railroads to those of other northeast Asian nations. He compared the group to the coal and steel community that helped pave the way for the European Union.
