State Department spokesman Ned Price discussed North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs at a briefing on the 12th (local time) when asked about when Joe Biden’s administration’s review of North Korea policy was finalized and whether there was a message being sent behind the scenes. It was a priority.
He continued, emphasizing that the United States remains committed to the denuclearization of North Korea, adding, “I will not give a timetable for when to see the next action in this process, but the coordination is continuing and is very active.”
Earlier, at a briefing on the 9th, a spokesman for Price responded passively when asked whether he would be concerned about North Korea’s nuclear weapons or missile launch tests if the US’s contact with North Korea was delayed.
He said he was more concerned about the situation not closely coordinating with partners such as Korea and Japan at the time, and even gave the impression of avoiding the answer.
Therefore, the mention on this day (12th) seems to have come out to reveal the message to the outside that the North Korean nuclear issue is a matter that is not far from the interest or importance of the US administration.
