North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has recently warned of a “tense” food situation and admitted his country faces its “worst-ever” crisis. I had a terrific strategic dialogue with @mofa_kr First Vice Foreign Minister @jongchoiysu. “We are looking forward to a reliable, predictable, constructive way forward with the DPRK,” Ms Sherman said. Some experts say North Korea may be compelled to reach out to the United States if its economic difficulties worsen. Outside monitoring groups have not reported any signs of mass starvation or social chaos in North Korea.
