In hosting Trump's daughter Ivanka, Moon noted that the joint efforts by Seoul and Washington to denuclearize the DPRK have failed for the past 25 years, saying the two countries must take the opportunity of the current dialogue mood.
Washington has hinted earlier about possible talks with Pyongyang, while showing no sign of easing the economic pressure.
"The maximum pressure campaign is going to continue and intensify. But if you (the DPRK) want to talk, we'll talk," Pence told a U.S. reporter on his way back from PyeongChang.
Apart from the new U.S. sanctions, looming U.S.-South Korean annual military drills have been seen as a threat that may dampen the recently generated positive momentum.
"We have to wait and see what the exercises look like. Some exercises can be very provocative and offensive," Douglas Paal, vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, told Xinhua in a recent interview.
