re: No . . .
Negotiations have been off and on for 50 years. The talks today are between North and South Korea regarding North Korea taking over South Korea. The U.S. is involved, but not at the level Eri assumes. My response was regarding the assumption that nobody was working with North Korea at all. Far from.
The butting heads are between North Korea leader vs. South Korean leader, not U.S. leader vs. Korean leader. The U.S. is working with South Korea and Japan on the matter, and acting as moderator for talks with North Korea.
