North Korea is willing to negotiate with the United States on its nuclear program, as long as Russia plays a role in those talks, according to a Russian lawmaker.
“North Korea is currently ready to conduct negotiations with the US with the participation of Russia as a third party,“ Vitaly Pashin, a member of the Russian legislature, told state-run media following a trip to the Korean Peninsula.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s team has refused to consider direct talks with North Korea until the regime stops testing ballistic missiles and agrees that the negotiations would result in the loss of its nuclear weapons. But the North Koreans have defied that expectation, culminating in the testing of an intercontinental ballistic missile that seem capable of striking any locale in the United States.
“The North Korean leadership noted that the country is regularly subjected to external aggression on the part of the U. S.,” Pashin said. „According to North Korean representatives, they were forced to demonstrate the ability to adequately respond to any aggression from the U. S., the ability to strike at any territory of America.
