The administration\u2019s position is that North Korea must get rid of its nuclear and missile programs before any talks can take place. The U.S. has applied a series of sanctions, including a fresh round on Friday, in what it says is a \u201cmaximum pressure campaign\u201d to force North Korea to disarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Trump administration says it\u2019s open to talks with North Korea, primarily to explain how America will maintain its pressure on the country until it takes steps toward eliminating its nuclear weapons. U.S. officials differentiate talks from negotiations. For those to occur, they first want Pyongyang to accept that its nuclear program will be on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking to the governors, Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping for bolstering his country\u2019s sanctions against the North and warned that Russia is \u201cbehaving badly\u201d on the issue of sanctions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cRussia is sending in what China is taking out,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During Sunday\u2019s closing ceremony for the Olympics Games, the office of South Korean President Moon Jae-in announced that a North Korean delegate to the Olympics said his country is willing to hold talks with the U.S. The move comes after decades of tensions between the two countries, which have no formal diplomatic relations, and a year of escalating rhetoric, including threats of war, between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"670\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18056485670318.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39299\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18056485670318.jpg.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18056485670318.jpg.jpg?resize=300,196 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP18056485670318.jpg.jpg?resize=768,503 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ivanka Trump, left, U.S. President Donald Trump&#8217;s daughter and Kim Yong Chol, vice chairman of North Korea&#8217;s ruling Workers&#8217; Party Central Committee, right, attend the closing ceremony of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Sunday, Feb. 25, 2018. (Natacha Pisarenko\/AP)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The North has \u201cample intentions of holding talks with the United States,\u201d Moon\u2019s office said. The North\u2019s delegation also agreed that \u201cSouth-North relations and U.S.-North Korean relations should be improved together,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Sunday that the U.S., South Korea and the international community \u201cbroadly agree\u201d that denuclearization must be the outcome of any dialogue with North Korea. She said North Korea has a bright path ahead of it if it chooses denuclearization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will see if Pyongyang\u2019s message today, that it is willing to hold talks, represents the first steps along the path to denuclearization,\u201d she said in a written statement. \u201cIn the meantime, the United States and the world must continue to make clear that North Korea\u2019s nuclear and missile programs are a dead end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump once scolded Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who favors diplomacy with North Korea over military confrontation, for \u201cwasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man,\u201d which is Trump\u2019s derisive nickname for North Korea\u2019s leader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the Olympics opening ceremony earlier this month, the North Korean leader\u2019s sister, Kim Yo Jong, shared a VIP box with Moon and Vice President Mike Pence, who led a separate U.S. delegation, creating some awkward moments. Though Pence stood to cheer the entrance of the U.S. team, he remained seated when athletes from North and South Korea marched together behind a \u201cunification\u201d flag, leaving Moon to instinctively turn around and shake Kim\u2019s sister\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pence and Kim Yo Jong did not speak. Pence\u2019s office claimed afterward that the North pulled out of a planned meeting at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During her visit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/off-duty\/military-sports\/2018\/02\/26\/olympian-nate-weber-lauds-ivanka-trump-and-the-twittersphere-responds\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Ivanka Trump<\/a> sat in the same box with Kim Yong Choi, vice chairman of North Korea\u2019s ruling Worker\u2019s Party Central Committee. They did not appear to interact when Jae-in shook hands with dignitaries at the beginning of Sunday\u2019s closing ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump stepped up the pressure campaign against North Korea on Friday by slapping sanctions on scores of companies and ships accused of illicit trading with the pariah nation. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the U.S. has now blacklisted virtually all ships being used by the North.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has vowed to use force if necessary to prevent North Korea from acquiring a nuclear-tipped missile that could strike the U.S. mainland. At a White House news conference on Friday, he warned that the U.S. would move to \u201cphase two\u201d in its pressure campaign if sanctions don\u2019t work. Trump said such a step could be \u201cvery rough\u201d and \u201cvery unfortunate for the world.\u201d He did not elaborate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf we can make a deal it will be a great thing. If we can\u2019t, something will have to happen,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump on Monday responded to an overture from North Korea for
