Online Edition

"We are so early into this process that I don't see this happening any time soon," said White House spokesman Sean Spicer at the daily briefing, adding that conditions for such a meeting have not been met yet.
"We've got to see their provocative behavior ratchet down immediately. Those are a lot of conditions that I think would have to happen with respect to its behavior," said Spicer. "Clearly, conditions are not there right now."

The United States and South Korea also held their largest ever joint military exercises in the past two months, while the USS Carl Vinson nuclear aircraft carrier task group has arrived in the waters off the peninsula for joint drills with the South Korean military.
