Senior national security officials believe a nuclear armed Pyongyang represents an unacceptable risk to the US.
Reviving inter-Korean dialogue is critical for the policies of Moon, a liberal who insists Seoul should be in control of global efforts to deal with North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Such a prospect would increase the nuclear threat to U.S. interests.
The vacancy of the key ambassadorship in Seoul, coupled with the loss of a veteran envoy in Yun, has revived concerns that the United States lacks diplomatic experience while dealing with one of its most hard foreign policy challenges.
Serving under an administration often riven by divisions over how to handle Pyongyang, Yun has sought direct diplomacy with North Korean officials at the United Nations, a senior State Department official told Reuters late previous year.
Moon explained to Trump that the DPRK had shown its willingness to talk with the United States, persuading the US president to get into an exploratory dialogue with Pyongyang to figure out what the DPRK intends to do while keeping a stance of maximum pressure on the Asian country.
KELEMEN: But North Korea watchers are anxious that Yun will be missing in that interagency debate. "We will keep standing strong until North Korea stops threatening our country, our allies or until they abandon their nuclear and ballistic missiles once and for all".
President Trump addressed a joint session of Congress for the first time on February 28th, 2017. "They've drawn a red line here and it is to never let North Korea build a nuclear tipped missile to hit America". "Therefore, no amount of talks between North and the South Korea is going to change anything significantly". For those to occur, they first want Pyongyang to accept that its nuclear program will be on the table.

'Game Night': impossible to hate, dark, witty comedy
But it's next-door neighbour Gary, a sad-sack police officer who no longer makes the cut for game night , who steals the show. Not a chuckle, though; I didn't laugh once, and I was in a "Lux" recliner seat and a very good mood.
During Sunday's closing ceremony for the Olympics Games, the office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in reported that a North Korean delegate to the Olympics said his country has "ample intentions of holding talks with the United States".
A source close to Yun said the decision to step away from his diplomatic post was the result of a combination of factors and was not intended as a protest statement.
"It is our indigenous territory", the South Korean leader said of the islands, called Dokdo in Korea and Takeshima in Japan. The Trump administration has said North Korea is its top national security priority and yet they are not staffing it. "It's just so incredibly inspiring", Trump said.
However, the expert pointed out that the South Korean public has become "immune" to such peace gestures from North Korea.
Pyongyang has also been known to export dual use materials relevant to nuclear activities.
Washington is now seeking to have the United Nations ban vessels from ports worldwide and blacklist shipping businesses for helping the North circumvent sanctions. "I would like to find a way to convince the Chinese to do this with us, to have a controlled collapse of the North Korean regime".
The North - which carried out multiple missile tests a year ago, including those capable of reaching the USA mainland - has long expressed its desire to talk to Washington without preconditions.
