US President Trump is open to renewed talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to revive denuclearization efforts, the White House confirmed. However, Kim's sister warned against pressure to disarm, calling such efforts a “mockery” and suggesting talks depend on US acceptance of current realities.

North Korea said relations between its leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump are “not bad” but any attempt to resume dialogue between the two countries should start with recognizing the North as a nuclear power.
