US ready to talk but N Korea must be ready to change course: Tillerson
14 Dec 2017 ( News Bureau )
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson has said, Washington is prepared to talk to North Korea whenever it is ready but Pyongyang must come to the negotiating table willing to make choices to change course on its nuclear and missile programs.
In a speech to a Washington think tank, Mr Tillerson said, US military preparedness to respond to any North Korean threat was strong and the armed forces have been ordered to have a full range of contingencies available.
North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear weapons technology has led to heavy US-led sanctions against the regime.
