U.S. State Secretary Rex Tillerson Open to Talks with North Korea
To say that the history between the United States and North Korea is a complicated and contentious one is something of an understatement. Though North Korea itself has been something of a problem in the region for decades, things have really ratcheted up in the last few years for a number of reasons in particular.
First, a veritable “war of words” has escalated since President Donald Trump assumed office, and effectively ditched his predecessor’s hands-off approach. Secondly, North Korea’s nuclear program has apparently gotten a lot farther than most people ever thought it would even a few short years ago. All of this has lead to something of a perfect storm where it seems like you can’t go a day without seeing a headline related to the subject in the newspaper.
But the most recent headline, thankfully, is a bit of a positive one.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson recently made news when he stated that, despite recent bravado, he is very much open to talks with North Korea and it’s leader – provided that those talks are focused around the country surrendering its nuclear programs, that is. Should these talks (or the idea of these talks) fail, a number of options are on the table – including a potential naval blockade of North Korea itself as well as additional sanctions on those with business and diplomatic ties to the country.
