U.S. State Department Says They Are Open to Talks with North Korea Without Preconditions
The U.S. may be open to dialogue, but North Korea has said repeatedly they will not denuclearize and don’t want to talk about it:
The United States remains open to dialogue with North Korea “without preconditions,” and committed to the “complete” denuclearization of the recalcitrant country, a State Department spokesperson said Thursday.
The spokesperson’s remarks came after Pyongyang’s state media reported Thursday (Seoul time) that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un visited a newly launched nuclear material production facility earlier this week, vowing to “exponentially” strengthen the country’s nuclear arsenal.
“The United States remains open to dialogue with North Korea without preconditions,” the spokesperson said in response to Yonhap News Agency’s request for comment. “The United States remains committed to the complete denuclearization of North Korea.”
