President of the United States, Joe BidenAnnounced today (Saturday) that he is ready to meet with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong Un“If he’s serious.” Biden’s remarks came at the end of a meeting in South Korea with its president, Ion Suk-Yaul, in Seoul. In addition, Biden revealed at the meeting that the United States had offered a vaccine to North Korea and China, but these did not respond.
In a conversation between the presidents, the parties discussed North Korea’s “worrying” nuclear capabilities, and in a joint statement, it was agreed that the countries would deepen their alliance to step up its steps to deter North Korea from nuclear disarmament, but retain the right to negotiate with Pyongyang.
Recall that the President of South Korea said about a week ago that “while North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs pose a threat not only to our own security and those of Northeast Asia, the door to dialogue will remain open so that we can resolve this threat peacefully. South Korea is ready to present a ‘bold plan’ “To strengthen North Korea’s economy if it starts the process of completing nuclear disarmament.”
However, about a month ago, Kim Yoo Jong, the influential sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, stated after a series of tests conducted by the country that if South Korea launched an offensive against its country, it would be “destroyed” by nuclear weapons.
