"DPRK"

State Department spokesperson said the United States condemns the DPRK missile launches, while noting that Washington is still committed to a diplomatic approach to Pyongyang to pursue the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

A White House official reaffirmed the Joe Biden administrations "calibrated, practical approach" in dealing with Pyongyang, which is open to exploring diplomacy to make practical progress that increases the security of the United States and its allies.

South Korea and the DPRK decided to resume their direct communication hotlines that had been severed for over a year as of 10:00 a.m. local time Tuesday.

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea leader Kim Jong-un has said he is only interested in meeting President Donald Trump again if the United States comes to talks with the right attitude.
