North Korea: US open for talks with North Korea

U.S. President Donald Trump told Moon Jae-in, the leader of South Korea, that the United States is open to talks with North Korea “at the appropriate time, under the right circumstances”, the White House said today. The two leaders have then stressed “the importance of continuing the maximum pressure campaign against North Korea”. U.S. also asked yesterday South Korea to ensure that North Korean participation in Winter Olympics does not violate the sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council over North Korea’s unlawful nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
