Us North Korea Dialogue

The United States on Wednesday condemned North Korea's firing of a suspected ballistic missile and urged Pyongyang to sit down for talks.

North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests were "concerning and counterproductive" for efforts to reduce tensions, and Pyongyang should instead engage in talks, the US envoy for North Korea said on Sunday.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un condemned a US offer of dialogue as a "facade", state media reported Thursday, and accused the Joe Biden administration of continuing a hostile policy against his nuclear-armed country.

The US State Department said Monday it "condemns" North Korea's apparent missile launch and urged Pyongyang to engage in dialogue.

The influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said Tuesday that Washington had "wrong" expectations for dialogue with Pyongyang and was facing "greater disappointment", state media reported.

The United States on Sunday said it saw as an "interesting signal" North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's comments this week saying he is ready for "dialogue and confrontation".

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has said his country needs to prepare for "both dialogue and confrontation" with the United States under President Joe Biden, state media reported Friday.

North Korea so far has rebuffed entreaties from the United States to engage in dialogue, the White House said on Monday, as a chill in relations that began under then-President Donald Trump has extended into Joe Biden's presidency.

Nuclear-armed North Korea on Monday warned it could cut off dialogue with the United States, but Washington's top diplomat said the US still looked forward to talks, even after the North called his insistence on sanctions "ludicrous".

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday downplayed North Korea's latest missile launches, saying they won't alter the prospects for negotiations on Pyongyang's nuclear weapons.

US national security adviser John Bolton said on Wednesday North Korea's recent missile tests did not violate a pledge its leader Kim Jong Un made to President Donald Trump, but Pyongyang had yet to say when working-level talks on denuclearisation would resume.

Veteran North Korean diplomats are being sidelined from nuclear talks ahead of a second summit with the US as recent defections and allegations of spying undermine the trust of leader Kim Jong Un, South Korean officials said.

The US postponed the '2+2 dialogue' with India as Secretary of State Michael R Pompeo has to travel to North Korea to discuss the country's denuclearisation plan, official sources said today.

President Donald Trump accomplished nothing in Singapore, if you want to be factual about it. The bland statement at the conclusion of the June 12 meeting was no different than previous statements, which were subsequently ignored.

The Kremlin on Wednesday said it welcomed the unprecedented meeting between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as the start of direct dialogue.
