WASHINGTON (AFP) – North Korea must stop conducting nuclear tests before the United States would enter into any talks with the isolated Pyongyang regime, US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said Sunday (Jan 7).
“They have to stop testing. They have to be willing to talk about banning their nuclear weapons. Those things have to happen,” she said Sunday, one day after President Donald Trump indicated he would be open to speaking directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
“This is going to be phases. This isn’t going to happen overnight, as we’ve seen, but it’s a dangerous situation,” Haley said on ABC’s This Week.
Trump’s latest remarks appeared to be a pivot away from his often-bellicose rhetoric on North Korea and Kim, but Haley said there was “no turnaround” in the US stance.
