US President Barack Obama and South Korea's new leader yesterday plotted the next moves on North Korea amid signs that the regime had stepped back from the brink.
On her first foreign trip since her election, President Park Geun-Hye was seeking both a show of unity and to keep momentum in South Korea's drive to build an outsized role in world affairs.
Park and Obama began a meeting in the Oval Office hours after North Korea's military launched its latest threat, vowing to turn border islands into a "sea of flames" if a shell fell on its side during joint US-South Korea drills.
But tensions have appeared to subside since earlier this year when North Korea carried out its third atomic test and vowed to prepare for nuclear war against the US.
A US defense official said North Korea had shifted two medium-range missiles away from a launch site, signaling that the country had no imminent plans to test-fire them.
