Rex Tillerson, the US Secretary of State, last night offered to begin talks with North Korea without any prior conditions in what appeared to be a softening of America's stance toward Pyongyang. When asked if he enjoyed his job, Tillerson replied that he was learning to enjoy it but did not enjoy the task of dealing with countries such as Pakistan and North Korea. The spokesman was referring to North Korea's recent test of the new Hwasong-15 intercontinental ballistic missile, which can theoretically strike anywhere in the continental U.S.
Tillerson said that the previous position that North Korea would have to give up its weapons wasn't workable, and that President Donald Trump agrees. The U.S. has maintained that North Korea should come forward ready to give up its weapons before the U.S. would engage in dialogue.
He added: "Let's just meet and let's talk about the weather if you want, and talk about whether it's going to be a square table or a round table if that's what you're excited about". "We have said, from the diplomatic side, we are ready to talking anytime North Korea would like to talk, and we are ready to have the first meeting without preconditions ***** So we need the DPRK to come to the table for talks".
Feltman met with North Korea's Foreign Minister Ri Yong-Ho and Vice Foreign Minister Pak Myong-Kuk during his visit to Pyongyang over the weekend - the first by a high-ranking United Nations official since 2011.
