据韩联社报道，姜京和在美国国会听证会上表示，情报共享是两国关系中最棘手的问题。她称，美国国务卿马可·卢比奥上个月在与韩国外交部长赵贤的会谈中提到了这一问题。姜京和并未详细说明华盛顿的具体担忧，但表示两国情报机构之间的沟通仍在继续，并已取得了一些进展。她还表示，韩国方面与白宫高级官员的接触机会较为有限。
Ambassador Kang Kyung-wha told a South Korean parliamentary audit in Washington that intelligence sharing was the most difficult issue in bilateral relations, according to Yonhap. Here are some details from the report and background: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio raised the matter during talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun last month, Kang said. Kang did not detail Washington's concerns, but said communication between the two countries' intelligence agencies was continuing and had made progress. The ambassador also said access to senior White House officials had been limited, according to the report.
对于路透社的采访请求，韩国外交部尚未立即作出回应。韩国媒体此前报道称，华盛顿曾要求在6月份与美国和日本官员讨论朝鲜网络威胁问题的会议上，将韩国国家情报院排除在外。韩国国家情报院回应称，这一事件反映了过去的误解，相关问题已经得到解决；虽然承认在某些情报共享方面存在限制，但否认美国减少了有关朝鲜导弹信息的共享或削减了整体情报交流的规模。
South Korea's foreign ministry did not immediately have a response to a Reuters request for comment on the report. South Korean media have reported that Washington asked that Seoul's National Intelligence Service be excluded from a June meeting with US and Japanese officials on North Korean cyber threats. Seoul's spy agency said the matter reflected a past misunderstanding and had been resolved, acknowledging restrictions on some intelligence connected to the earlier dispute but denying reports that the US had reduced sharing of North Korean missile information or cut the overall flow of intelligence.
姜京和表示，韩国和美国正在讨论通过修订现有的民用核协议或另行达成新的安排，来保障韩国在铀浓缩及乏核燃料再处理方面的权益。
Kang said Seoul and Washington were discussing ways to secure South Korean rights to enrich uranium and reprocess spent nuclear fuel, either through revising their civil nuclear agreement or an additional arrangement.
尽管特朗普表示愿意对话，但迄今为止美国总统唐纳德·特朗普与朝鲜领导人金正恩之间的峰会仍未取得进展，康表示。
No progress had been made towards a summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, despite Trump signalling openness to dialogue, Kang said.
韩国总统李在明周二在内阁会议上指出，首尔在与其他国家交往时应避免屈从的姿态。
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung told a cabinet meeting on Tuesday that Seoul should avoid subservient attitudes in dealings with other countries.
李在明称美韩同盟是韩国外交的核心支柱，应该进一步发展，同时他补充说，各国之间的分歧是不可避免的，必须通过讨论和协调来加以处理。
Lee called the US alliance a central pillar of South Korean diplomacy which should be further developed, while adding differences between countries were inevitable and should be managed through discussion and coordination.
