Tillerson: US in direct contact with North Korea
By Julia Manchester - 09/30/17 09:32 AM EDT
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said on Saturday that the U.S. is taking part in direct communications with North Korea as relations between the two countries appear to be deteriorating.
“We ask, ‘Would you like to talk?’ We have lines of communications to Pyongyang — we’re not in a dark situation, a blackout. We have a couple, three channels open to Pyongyang,” Tillerson said in comments reported by The New York Times.
Tillerson said the channels of communications do not run through China and that Washington has its own communication channels with Pyongyang.
