US cautious over talks with DPRK

Moon urges Washington to lower the threshold for discussions

The White House said on Monday it would "wait and see" whether the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's hope for talks with the United States means it is serious about denuclearization, after Pyongyang said it was willing to hold talks with Washington.

The White House said on Sunday in a statement that there will be a "brighter path" available for Pyongyang if it chooses denuclearization.
