The White House responded cautiously to North Korea’s expression of interest in diplomatic talks with the U. S. Sunday, suggesting the Trump administration may be interested, but remains committed to „achieving the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.“
The White House responded cautiously to North Korea’s expression of interest in diplomatic talks with the U. S. Sunday, suggesting the Trump administration may be interested, but remains committed to “achieving the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.”
The administration, which has announced fresh economic sanctions against Pyongyang in recent days, also vowed in a statement Sunday to keep up its “maximum pressure campaign” against North Korea until it denuclearizes.
The statement came hours after South Korea’s government said senior officials from North who were visiting South Korea for the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics had indicated an openness to talks with the United States.
