MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The United States is ready to negotiate with North Korea on the latter’s nuclear program, but is waiting for a “clearer” signal from Pyongyang, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.
On Friday, the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un, said that the country should be equally ready for dialogue or confrontation with the new US administration.
The US official stressed that “there is no substitute for diplomacy” to progress toward the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
In May, US President Joe Biden expressed his willingness to meet with Kim if the latter consents to full denuclearization. According to White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki, Washington has reconsidered its policy toward Pyongyang and will no longer rely on bargaining or patience.
