United States is raising the warning level toward North Korea, announcing military action. As mentioned earlier, the US Air Force strategic bomber was sent near the Korean Peninsula, followed by the possibility of resuming combined military training. Let's connect the Washington correspondent.

Correspondent Yoon-Soo Kim, where did the story of the combined military training between Korea and the United States come from first?

David Helby, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Indian and Pacific Affairs, said this in a telephone interview.

He also mentioned the issue of strategic asset development along with the resumption of the ROK-US alliance, but he does not want to move forward, he said, and he said he is still talking about these two issues with Korea.

North Korea is in a situation that poses an extraordinary threat.

This is the first time North Korea has made a public comment after the North-South contact office has been blown up, but don't cross the Red Line, it sounds like this warning.

And Lee Do-hoon, the head of the peace negotiations on the Korean Peninsula, went to Washington to meet with the Secretary of State, vegan. Have you confirmed what happened?

<Reporter>

It was confirmed that the two people met, but the contents of the conversation as well as when and where they met were not disclosed.

It seems that it is difficult to find a breakthrough that deserves North Korean pressure, and it is difficult to disclose even if there is a countermeasure.

Given that it is difficult to resume negotiations with North Korea ahead of the U.S. presidential election, how much confidence can be given to inter-Korean cooperation projects blocked by North Korean sanctions?

But the issue between North Korea and the United States was not well resolved. In the United States these days, there is a hot battle between President Trump and former aide to Bolton?

<Reporter>

This is a memoir from former White House National Security Advisor Bolton that will be published next week.

The North American summit talks that President Trump, who is obsessed with reelection, was caught by North Korean Prime Minister Kim Jong-un. He said that he thought the North Korean summit was a means of publicity, and that North American diplomacy was a creation of Korea. .

President Trump also received a personal attack, accusing Bolton of breaking North American negotiations, accusing Bolton of being a crazy person, stupid, and referring to Libya's denuclearization model, which aims to denuclearize and post-compensate.

President Trump did not mention any recent North Korean provocations while exchanging responsibility for North American relations with former aides.
