US National Security Advisor on Pre-Election North Korea-US Talks? "Hope for Dialogue Resumption"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Robert O'Brien, White House National Security Advisor, expressed hope for the resumption of North Korea-U.S. denuclearization talks.

Radio Free Asia (RFA) and Voice of America (VOA) reported on the 6th that Advisor O'Brien stated that the North Korea-U.S. denuclearization talks would not be influenced by U.S. domestic politics and that he hopes to resume dialogue with North Korea as soon as possible.

On the 5th (local time), during a lecture to ambassadors from various countries stationed in Washington D.C., O'Brien said that the possibility of North Korea-U.S. talks before the U.S. presidential election in November this year "entirely depends on North Korea."

He mentioned that Steve Biegun, Deputy Secretary of State, and Alex Wong, Special Representative for North Korea Policy at the State Department, are working hard and expressed hope that they would return to the negotiating table and meet again.

Furthermore, he explained that President Donald Trump "will make the right decision for the American people, whether it is a popular decision or not, whether it is risky or not, right up until just before the election," and that the U.S. domestic political schedule is not being considered at all.
