Joe Biden and Moon Jae-in express ‘deep concern’ about North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme at White House talks.
Joe Biden, the president of the United States, has appointed a special envoy to engage North Korea in dialogue, saying he and South Korea’s President Moon Jae-in remain “deeply concerned” about Pyongyang’s nuclear arsenal. At a joint news conference on Friday, Biden also said he would meet North Korean leader Kim Jong Un – under the right conditions. The US president told reporters at the White House that his ultimate goal was the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, but he said he was “under no illusions” about the difficulty of getting North Korea to give up its nuclear arsenals.More Related News
