The United States came into direct contact with the authorities of the DPRK
Washington made direct contact with North Korea, confirmed U.S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson. According to him, Washington is sounding out the possibility of talks with Pyongyang. “Follow the news,” added Tillerson.
“We have channels of communication — said Tillerson during his visit to China. — We do not sit in the dark.”
Over the past few months the US and North Korea were regularly exchanged mutual accusations and threats, but until now little was known about the fact that they have direct channels of communication.
The US President, speaking at the UN, threatened to destroy North Korea, saying that North Korean leader Kim Jong-UN “embarked on a suicidal path.” In response, Kim Jong-UN released a statement in which it said that “Crazy American man certainly, certainly going to tame the fire!”.
This verbal sparring comes amid ongoing testing of North Korean missiles. In addition, on 3 September, North Korea stated that it failed to conduct test of the hydrogen bomb, which can be installed in the warhead of a ballistic missile.
