President Biden has no intention of meeting North Korean general secretary Kim Jong-un, the White House said.
It is interpreted to mean that he will solve the North Korean problem in a different approach than that of former President Trump.

the 25th, President Biden warned that he would respond to the North Korean ballistic missile provocation, but said he was prepared for some form of diplomacy.
When asked if this remark includes meeting general secretary Kim Jong-un, the White House replied:
[Jen Saki/White House Spokesperson: President Biden's approach will be quite different.
It is not his intention to do so.] It
seems that it is different from former President Trump, who negotiated denuclearization with North Korea in a top-down manner between leaders, and that he would not meet with General Secretary Kim Jong-un without any conditions.
When President Biden was a candidate, President Biden expressed his intention to talk with General Secretary Kim Jong-un on the premise of agreeing to reduce North Korea's nuclear capabilities.
