Pence to North Korea: 'If you want to talk, we'll talk'
By Brett Samuels - 02/11/18 08:03 PM EST

Vice President Pence in a new interview published on Sunday indicated the United States would be willing to engage in talks with North Korea without preconditions as the Trump administration seeks to pressure Pyongyang to end its nuclear program.

“The point is, no pressure comes off until they are actually doing something that the alliance believes represents a meaningful step toward denuclearization,” Pence told The Washington Post. “So the maximum pressure campaign is going to continue and intensify. But if you want to talk, we’ll talk.”

Pence, who was in Pyeongchang for the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics, met Saturday with South Korean President Moon Jae-in.
