By Park Si-soo

What would the United States give North Korea in return for denuclearization?

The Trump administration is now detailing a compensation package for the Kim Jong-un regime that would significantly boost economic and diplomatic sectors, the Dong-A Ilbo daily reported on Thursday, citing government sources.

The newspaper said if the Trump-Kim summit is a success, the U.S. is willing to open a liaison office and an embassy in Pyongyang, and start humanitarian aid.

The two countries discussed the issues during working-level talks, the paper said.

Meanwhile, South Korea's top national security adviser is visiting Washington to meet his U.S. counterpart John Bolton, the White House said.
