Flynn also told the delegation during the meeting earlier Friday that he plans to tackle the North Korean nuclear issue as a "priority," South Korea's deputy National Security Advisor Cho Tae-yong told reporters.
Flynn, a retired three-star general and former Defense Intelligence Agency chief, was named earlier in the day to be Trump's first national security advisor.
