North Korea continues to give the United States the cold shoulder, despite President Donald Trump's apparent willingness to resume dialogue with the country's supreme leader, Kim Jong Un. State media has branded Washington a "hostile force" after Trump expressed confidence in his ability to end a potential conflict on the Korean Peninsula.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is taking a "prudent" and "strategic" approach to addressing North Korean challenges, a U.S. diplomat said Friday, reiterating its stated commitment to the "complete denuclearization" of North Korea.

With a fragile truce between enemy states Iran and Israel still holding, a recent post shared on Threads misleadingly claimed to show US President Donald Trump threatening to “destroy” North Korea if it entered the fray in the Middle East.

The move marks a renewed push by Trump to intensify trade pressure on U.S. allies after a pause in his tariff escalation.

Although U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed his willingness to resume talks with North Korea, Pyongyang has rejected the overture, highlighting a clear divergence in perspectives between the two sides.

President Donald Trump campaigned on keeping the United States out of foreign wars, but it didn’t take long to convince him to come to the direct aid of Israel.

US President Donald Trump on Friday said he will "get the conflict solved with North Korea." At an Oval Office event where he highlighted his efforts to resolve global conflicts, Trump was asked whether he had written a letter to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, as was reported this month.

But, according to an analysis of media reports and publicly available information, Trump has now been formally tapped for the prize at least 12 times, including most recently by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Individuals from six other countries, including Australia, Pakistan and Norway, have also put forward his name.
