After months of threats and verbal attacks regarding nuclear attacks from nation, North Korea sent a spokesperson on Sunday to say that they are ready to sit down with the United States anytime and anywhere that they want to, and talk about what should happen next.

From the New York Times: 

We “propose high-level talks between the North Korean and U.S. governments to ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula and establish regional peace and security,” a spokesman of the National Defense Commission, the North’s top governing agency, said in an “important statement” carried by Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency.

The spokesman said North Korea and the United States could meet “any time and at any place the United States wants.”

He said North Korea reaffirmed that “the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula was an unchanged will and resolution of our military and the people.” To stress the credibility of that statement, the spokesman attributed it to the founder of North Korea, Kim Il-sung, and his son Kim Jong-il, who led North Korea until he died in 2011. He was succeeded by his son Kim Jong-un.

While this initial announcement took place after their attempt at making peace with South Korea earlier in the month, this is the first attempt at a stance completely radical from the original voice once presented, claiming to “never join any talks designed to end its nuclear war programs.”

They did also make sure to mention that their agreement to denuclearize their peninsula should also require the removal of all American nuclear threats in their country. 

Washington responded that North Korea will have to show sincerity in their claims by deactivating their nukes before any talking would come.
