                        Wednesday, June 28, 2017

  Mr. MARINO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to welcome South Korean 
President Moon Jae-in on his first trip to the United States.
   South Korea is one of our staunchest allies and has been an 
excellent friend to the United States. I recently had the awesome 
opportunity to visit South Korea and was able to meet with many 
different government officials to hear more about the issues and 
concerns that are confronting the region. While there are several 
pressing concerns facing South Korea, and the region, if we remain 
committed as allies and friends we will continue to see peace and 
stability.
   I know that President Trump and President Moon will have an 
excellent, friendly, and productive meeting. I look forward to 
continuing to support South Korea as a Member of Congress and hope that 
President Moon enjoys his time in the United States.
