President Moon Jae-in was set to hold a rare meeting Monday with the country's former top diplomats to the United States, in an apparent move to seek advice on important topics and the best ways to deal with his US counterpart Donald Trump.

The meeting comes two days before the president is set to head to Washington, where he is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with the new US head of state.
