Trump talks of engagement to resolve North Korea crisis
Print Edition
US President Donald Trump told South Korea’s presidential envoy this week that Washington is willing to try to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis through engagement, but under the right conditions, South Korea’s foreign ministry said yesterday.
Trump has said “a major, major conflict” with North Korea is possible and all options are on the table but that he wants to resolve the crisis diplomatically, possibly through the extended use of economic sanctions.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in has campaigned on a more moderate approach toward North Korea but has said it must change its attitude to arms development before dialogue is possible.
Moon’s envoy, South Korean media mogul Hong Seok-hyun, said Trump spoke of being willing to use engagement to ensure peace.
Foreign ministry spokesman Cho June-hyuck told a regular briefing: “The fact that Trump said he will not have talks for the sake of talks reiterated our joint stance that we are open to dialogue but the right situation must be formed.”
