North Korea fully ready for dialogue and war: state media
- 6 years ago
Ready for talks, and possibly more.
North Korea's state-run news agency says the regime is "fully ready for both dialogue and war" and stressed it's prepared to respond to any U.S. provocation with a prompt counterstrike.
The Korean Central News Agency also took aim at the U.S. over what it said were moves to stifle thawing inter-Korean ties.
Also targeting the annual joint military exercises between Seoul and Washington,... the North slammed the acting U.S. ambassador to South Korea for saying the postponed drills would be held in April.
The North's outburst comes a day after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the White House is willing to work with the North Korean leadership... and Washington is waiting to hear from Pyongyang that the regime is ready to talk.
That said,... Tillerson also stressed that the Trump administration will keep up its campaign of maximum pressure on North Korea.
