Sept 30, 2017
Press Corps Colleagues,
The following is attributable to Spokesperson Heather Nauert:
U.S. diplomats have several open channel sin which we can communicate with officials within the N. Korean regime.
Despite assurances that the United States is not interested in promoting the collapse of the current regime, pursuing regime change, accelerating reunification of the peninsula or mobilizing forces north of the DMZ, N. Korean officials have shown no indication that they are interested in or are ready for talks regarding denuclearization.
Regards,
State Department Press Office
