The conversation partner in the Biden administration is the nominee of Secretary of State Tony Blincoln.

[Tony Blingen/Appointed US Secretary of State: We will review the overall approach and policy towards North Korea.
This is because it is a difficult problem and the situation is getting worse over time.] The
targets for review include both the strategic patience of the Obama administration where he worked and the top-down Trump-style negotiations.
Blincoln added that in the methodology for negotiations, it would be effective to strengthen pressure on North Korea and whether other diplomatic plans were possible.
The Austin Defense Minister's nominee, who will share the role of Kangon with Blincoln, has also said he will review the military requirements necessary for major operational plans, including the Korean Peninsula.
Both nominees emphasized close consultations with allies, including Korea and Japan, as essential elements of the review.
