North Korean officials indicated to a national security administration official last week that working level talks could start very soon, a senior administration official said Tuesday.
The North Koreans made the comments while the national security official was at the Korean Demilitarized Zone delivering photos from President Donald Trump's recent meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.Both the US and North Korea will have representatives at this week's ASEAN meetings in Bangkok, but it is unclear if they will meet. The senior administration official said that the North Koreans were sending a lower-level official in lieu of their foreign minister.
North Korean media outlet KCNA reported that the launches were"personally organized" by Kim as a warning to South Korea ahead of joint military exercises with the US.Both Trump and Pompeo seemed to downplay the significance of the launches. Trump noted on Friday that"they are short-range missiles and many people have those missiles.
