Biden suggests there is little chance of meeting with North Korea’s Kim amid rising tensions

LA Times  

President Biden said Saturday that any meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un would “depend on whether he was sincere and whether he was serious,” a departure from former President Trump’s aggressive pursuit of the rogue autocrat. Biden’s skeptical comments came during a joint news conference with new South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol, in which the two leaders expressed growing concerns over North Korea’s provocations. “Strong deterrence against North Korea is paramount,” Yoon said while standing beside Biden at the People’s House, the seat of government. However, Yoon said that “the door to dialogue remains open” and that “if North Korea genuinely embarks upon denuclearization” it could get help from the West in improving life for its impoverished people.
