Vice President Pence Speaks Out Regarding North Korea

Like America, South Korea remains at odds with North Korea. However, dictator Kim Jong Un has shown inclinations to talk with South Korea. Nevertheless, Vice President Pence maintains that a mere willingness to converse is not enough:

“There is no daylight between the United States, the Republic of Korea and Japan on the need to continue to isolate North Korea economically and diplomatically until they abandon their nuclear missile program.”

The United States and North Korea

America and North Korea have remained at odds for quite some time. However, many people believe tensions have worsened over the past sixteen months. North Korea has repeatedly launched lethal missiles across the globe, much to the ire of multiple nations.

Furthermore, to say that President Trump and Kim Jong Un currently have a tense relationship would be the understatement of the millennia. The two world leaders have publicly criticized each other, even going as far as name-calling. President Trump has referred to Kim Jong Un as “rocket man” while the North Korean leader has called the President a “mentally deranged dotard.”
