Bruce Harrison reports from Seoul.
President Trump says for now he's still focused on the 'big deal.'
And that, he says, is getting rid of nuclear weapons.
But the president did suggest after his summit with Moon that smaller deals with North Korea may happen.
That would be good news for Moon, who's unable to carry out bold economic plans with North Korea because of international sanctions.
He's facing growing pressure for a lack of progress with Kim Jong-un.
North Korea has demanded partial sanctions relief, a smaller deal.
But Trump says he's not ready to do that.

Abortion advocates celebrate the ruling.
For hours here they've chanted our bodies our choice.
Not 20 meters away and separated by police, anti-abortion demonstrators yell defiantly they will not accept the decision.
South Korea is one of few developed economies to still criminalize abortion.
But the court ruled the law must change by the end of 2020.
Illegal abortions are common here and women and doctors are rarely prosecuted.
But abortion advocates say the outcome will allow women access to safer procedures.
And it will help, they say, eliminate the social isolation women face for having an abortion.
