What is the recent US-North Korea relationship?

North Korea held three summit talks with the former Trump administration in the United States, but did not close the gap in the position of denuclearization.

In October, a working-level talk between the United States and North Korea was held in Sweden, but North Korea claimed that the attitude of the United States had not changed and claimed that "the talks broke down." It remains unseen.

General Secretary Kim Jung-eun called the United States the "greatest enemy" at the Workers' Party of Korea Convention in January and showed a confrontational stance with the Biden administration in mind.

However, General Secretary Kim also added implications to the dialogue, saying, "The key to establishing a new US-North Korea relationship is for the United States to withdraw its hostile policy."

Earlier this month, Kim's younger sister, Yo-jung, announced a discourse against joint military exercises by the US and South Korean troops, restraining the Biden administration.

Meanwhile, the Biden administration has revealed that it has been trying to contact North Korea since last month, but Choi Soni, the first secretary of the North Korean Foreign Ministry, said, "Unless we withdraw the hostile policy, we will ignore it." And was repulsing.
