"Nuclear" tension in Korea: "Biden willing to meet Kim"
Washington: "Offer still valid, but Pyongyang hasn't responded yet."
A meeting "without preconditions" between US President Joe Biden and dictator Kim Jong-un to discuss the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula? The option is "on the table", at least on the US side.
This was confirmed by White House National Security spokesman John Kirby in an interview with the Japanese news agency Kyodo.
From Pyongyang, Kirby said, "they didn't respond positively to that offer, but it's still on the table. We are willing to sit down and negotiate without preconditions."
An opening that comes a few hours after the historic three-way Camp David summit between Biden, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. A summit to strengthen ties between Washington, Seoul and Tokyo (someone even spoke of "Asian" NATO in an anti-China and anti-Kim key) which will focus precisely on the rapid development of nuclear and missile capabilities by Pyongyang.
