U.S. in regular contact with North Korea: State Department
- 6 years ago
The U.S. State Department says Washington is in touch with North Korea virtually every day or every other day,... but has no travel plans to announce for the moment.
According to the State Department spokeswomen Heather Nauert,... the U.S. is continuing communication with the North,... but declined to comment on a report that the North had repeatedly rejected a U.S. proposal for it to cut its nuclear arsenal by 60 to 70 percent within six to eight months.
U.S. officials familiar with the talks, however, told Reuters that North Korea has yet to agree to a timeline for eliminating its nuclear arsenal or to disclose its size, which U.S. estimates at between 30 and 60 warheads.
