The State Department says Stephen Biegun will meet senior South Korean officials on Wednesday and Thursday.

Talks are expected to center on how to end North Korea's nuclear weapons program.

Little progress to that end has been made since President Donald Trump and leader Kim Jong-un met in June.

Kim had agreed with South Korea's President Moon Jae-in to visit Seoul this year.

The visit was expected to give a boost to dialogue.

But it no longer appears likely Kim will cross the border before the end of the month.
