The North Korean foreign minister said the DPRK had offered “realistic proposals” but the US wanted more, and the two sides couldn’t reconcile their differences leading to what the US President called a “walk away” earlier in his press conference in Hà Nội. “It became crystal clear that the US was not ready to go through with this proposal,” the North Korean top diplomat said. The North Korean official said it would be difficult to come up with a better proposal than the one his country was putting on the table. “Our principle stands and remains invariable and our proposal will never change in the future even if the US wants further talks,” he said. The North Korean foreign minister did not take questions from the press afterwards.
