North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said he would talk to the United States only if Washington stops demanding that Pyongyang scrap its nuclear weapons program, state-run news agency KCNA reported on Sept. 21.
During a speech at the Supreme People’s Assembly in Pyongyang, Kim said that if the United States stops demanding denuclearisation, “there is no reason … not to sit down with the United States.”
