Period (Hello, ideal, end.)]

After a meaningless greeting, I turned around without adding any words.
President Biden also raised 'North Korea's attitude' as a prerequisite for dialogue at the press conference yesterday,
[Joe Biden/President of the United States (Yesterday): (North Korea)) I am
willing to do it.]
Today's short greeting is interpreted to mean that we will observe North Korea's response without adding any more.
Compared to former President Trump, CNN noted that "Biden doesn't seem to want a 'love letter' from Kim Jong-un or thirsty for a handshake with Kim Jong-un."
[Park Won-gon/Professor of North Korean Studies at Ewha Womans University: I once talked about Kim Jong-un as a 'thug' and a 'dictator' and expressed a very negative view.
It would be correct to think that the perception of Kim Jong-un (at the time) was reflected as it is.
In fact, I think it is correct to interpret that we do not intend to meet much.]
At the summit yesterday, South Korea and the United States stipulated that nuclear response to the extended deterrence provided by the United States, joint South Korea-U. .
With North Korea's additional ICBM test launch and movement of the 7th core test being caught, the situation on the Korean Peninsula is likely to fluctuate depending on the level of North Korea's future actions with a message that it will respond to actions with action.
