Where he's set to meet with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung in Gyeongju, a historic city playing host to this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

Trump's visit comes as North Korea said Wednesday it fired sea-to-surface cruise missiles into its western waters, in another display of its growing military capabilities.
