Biden Administration Ignored by North Korea
Despite repeated attempts to reach out, President Joe Biden's administration remains ignored by North Korea. Reportedly, the reclusive country has yet to respond to behind-the-scenes diplomatic outreach. Since February, the US continues to reach out to the country. This includes trying to open communication lines with Pyongyang’s UN mission. A senior Biden administration official relayed this information to Reuters last Saturday.

Unsuccessful Outreach
The disclosure of the failed attempts raises questions on how to deal with NK. Specifically, how can the White House reduce tensions with North Korea? This includes opening a dialogue with its enigmatic leader, Kim Jong-Un. At present, the country remains openly defiant with its nuclear missile development efforts.
Also, the diplomatic silence reduces the clout of top American officials. A US delegation will visit South Korea and Japan next week to discuss security. The countries share the same apprehension over the rogue country’s nuclear weaponry. Dealing with North Korea is high on the agenda list of urgent matters.
No Response
The senior Biden administration official spoke with Reuters on condition of anonymity. He said they made efforts to reach out to North Korea through several channels. This includes going the UN route in New York. “To date, we have not received any response from Pyongyang,” the official said.
Meanwhile, the official said a comprehensive policy review on NK is underway. This includes an “evaluation of all available options” to address the increasing threat from North Korea. During this review process, the administration consulted with former government officials with experience in North Korean policy. Specifically, they included officials from the Trump administration. The government also met with Japanese and South Korean allies. “We look forward to completing our intensive, multi-stakeholder policy review in the coming weeks,” the anonymous official said.
A Contrast To Trump Efforts
In contrast, former President Donald Trump met with North Korea from the get-go. Even as he advocated a tough stance, Trump said he is open to “eat a hamburger” with the NK leader to get a dialogue started. Consequently, Trump and Kim met two times, one in 2018 and one in 2019. and signed an accord that reduced tensions between the two countries. North Korea even returned the remains of missing American soldiers during the war.
However, the Biden administration has yet its reactivate dialogue with North Korea. Last year during the campaign, Biden called Kim a “thug” and said he would only meet him on certain conditions. This includes North Korea’s immediate withdrawal of its nuclear program.
Denuclearizing North Korea
Meanwhile, Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned possible additional sanctions for North Korea. For now, the US is working closely with allies to convince Pyongyang to denuclearize. However, sanctions have yet to work to make Kim give up his nuclear arsenal.
This week, Blinken will host discussions with US and Chinese officials in Alaska. Pyongyang’s missile program will be prominently featured on the agenda. A confidential UN report disclosed NK's 2020 activities. It said the country maintained and developed its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. This is in violation of international sanctions. Also, Pyongyang used $300 million in funds generated from cyber hacks. In addition, the report said Pyongyang produced fissile material, maintained nuclear facilities, and upgraded its ballistic missile infrastructure. Meanwhile, they also foreign materials and technology for those programs abroad.

WE HAVE TOO MANY PROBLEMS GOING ON IN OUR OWN COUNTRY AT PRESENT TIME. CONCENTRATE ON SOLVING THEM AND STAY OUT OF OTHER COUNTRIES BUSINESS. WISE UP BIDEN ADMINISTRATION, AMERICA COMES FIRST. WHAT DO TOU WANT TO DO, CAUSE ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY CAUSED LIKE BOMBARDING US WITH IMMIGRANTS WE DO NOT NEED OR WANT., OPENING OUR BORDERS TO CRIMINALS, DRUG RUNNERS, NOT PROTECTING OUR BORDER PATROLS WITH COVID VACCINES, AND WITH NO WALL, NEED MORE BORDER PATROL OFFICERS TO FILL IN THE GAPS THE ALIENS ARE USING TO ILLEGALLY ENTER THIS COUNTRY. MAKE AN EMERGENCY ORDER, ALL WHO ENTER ARE SENT BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM. BIDEN’S FIRST PRIORITY UPON ENTERING OFFICE WAS MORE IMMIGRATION. THE MAN IS INSANE, GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT FOR NOT MAKING AMERICA’S CITIZENS SAFETY AND WELFARE COME FIRST.
Amen,Biden is a trader to American tax payers.If him an his want a be a black person hadden. Cheated our President Trump would be where he belongs in the White House.Biden/Harris should be in gitmo along with Obama
Korea not responding to “Puppet Biden” Shows me they have more brains than the Biden administration.
What is a “DEMOCRAT” ? DOES IT EVEN EXIST ANYMORE?
AS THE 2020 “ELECTION” IE “SELECTION” AND INSTALLMENT OF AN ILLEGITIMATE PRESIDENT AND THE A CABINET MEMBERS FROM RETREADS OF THE OBAMA REGIME…
WE ARE AS A FREEDOM NATION ARE NO MORE!
WE HAVE ALLOWED OUR NATION TO BE HIJACKED BY LAWLESS PEOPLE THAT ONLY CARE ABOUT THEMSELVES AND POWER, CERTAINLY NOT “AMERICA”!!!
A storm is coming. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Biden needs to resign. He has put this country in danger with the terrorist he is allowing to come thru our southern boarder. We have stop most terrorist acts for years and now he is letting them in and they are most likely going to hit us in our own country now. He is also allowing Covid infected children from Mexico to come in and put our country back in danger of high Covid cases and possible more Covid deaths.
Of course they’re ignoring them. Isn’t everyone?! He’s not recognized by other countries because even they know he’s not thr legitimate president.
Nobody is recognizing him, laughing at him yes but as far as a leader no.we need our president back
North Korea and many other countries will continue to ignore biden, just like 50 million Americans. He is not a legitimate president and therefore deserves no respect. He is a puppet and a wosse controlled by his liberal masters like “nance”. Trump was a strong, decisive leader who knew how to deal and negotiate with individuals. Biden’s method of “come by yaw” only works for the mindless, clueless democrats in America.
China Joe is a Putz! When the world and the people in the USA see how China Joe and his administration is handling the boarder crisis which THEY have created…says just about enough to every other country that is watching!!!
Biden is doing what is needed, saving the country from the corona virus. At the rate we are going most everyone who wants to be vaccinated will have done so before the Fall. Those who refuse can just slowly die off. Mostly right wing Republicans. While this is going on, the Administration will be working on putting the infrastructure back in order and creating a modern economy with 21st Century jobs and increasing our ability to be the breadbasket for a good portion of the world. Trump is a conman that was destroying our country to payoff his enormous personal debts. Off to jail with him.
@Jim Klimaski…you my friend comply with everything you are being feed! As for the vaccine, President Trump is the one who made this happen! As a independent voter, I would never vote left again until they clean up there act!!! Back in order you say, china Joe is making it worse not better. China Joe just passed a 1.9 covid trillion dollar bill that only 9 % is actually goes for covid-19! The boarder is a freaking mess! They stoled an election and now trying to pass a bill so they can steel another! Your cancel culture is hard at work trying to cancel everything from the past! Rioting still in some are city streets and the dems still don’t say a word! YOU.. !!! As for republicans you wish death upon, YOU are the reason I lean more right than left nowadays…Keep conning yourself and others like many dems have done in the past, but it will no longer work. To many people love this country unlike many dems who want to change it!!!;
BIDEN IS THE EQUIVALENT OF A NUMBSKULL AS FAR AS I CAN SEE. I DON’T KNOW HOW HE EVER GOT INTO POLITICS…NEVER MIND BECOME PRESIDENT ! IF WE DON’T CHANGE COURSE AS A COUNTRY…WE CAN DISSOLVE BEING CONSIDERED THE ” GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH” SAYING…AND JOE BIDEN IS NOT THE ONE WE NEED AT THE HELM TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. GET RID OF HIM….LEGALLY..IMPEACHMENT OF A LAME BRAIN !!!
Kim will only deal with Donald, Biden needs to hire Trump for peace diplomacy buts idiots get no where
Biden has done nothing good but push for a vaccine that Trump started which the side effects still are unknown. The virus is part of a democratic plan put in place during the Obama administration to regain control. Funny how once the election settled down our virus threat level started to drop faster than vaccination rates, all of a sudden we didn’t have a flu season, and illegal/legal immigrants aren’t required to mask up or be vaccinated. The democrats in office are criminals of the lowest kind in the highest offices.
Trump constantly accused if increasing the national debt yet within 60 days Biden puts us 2trillion deeper. No wars during Trump, Biden sends troops oversees for war, he has plans to attempt to destroy the 2nd amendment which; guess what? Protects the 1st amendment. The open borders policy is another attempt to bring socialism into full policy. Cheap labor from the 80s has shown us what it’s long term effects can do to an economy. Remember about 15 years ago when all the immigrants put down their tools and came out to protest immigration laws. The country almost stopped dead for a day. They did this with hardly any organization showing the force they had. We are surrounded by the hired help in our own land and Biden is increasing the enemy force that is already here.
Americans, Patriots, and those that truly love what our flag stood for all these years need to prepare to fight and defend that flag on our own soil. The storm is coming and if we plan to see a new dawn in our land as a people free from oppression, then we must fight.
I believe North Korea’s unwillingness to speak with the current president pretty much says it all… I mean Trump didn’t have this kind of problem. In fact we went from the boiling point where I was sure we were going to war against North Korea all the way to the point where there was no problem whatsoever with North Korea… So yeah the current president is obviously an idiot who in the heck wants to start s*** and we’re tearing ourselves apart here at home more divided than ever and he wants to go over and stir a pot that we were just about to go to war with 4 years ago!? It’s freaking ridiculous… Every day I’m seeing more and more stuff on the news about how cops can’t act like cops anymore, white people are all to blame for everything despite the fact that we’re not the ones burning down the cities but that’s a hush hush topic, and now he’s going overseas and starting s*** with people again? Man whatever… I just don’t see why everyone had such a problem with the idea of America becoming something better than what it was. We close our borders so what? We focus internally to make ourselves better so what? We do that for I don’t know let’s say 10 years and then what? We lower our borders to reveal ourselves this United country that can at that point in time help the rest of the world if they need it. I mean what’s so wrong with that? But no instead we’re going to go start some s*** over there stir that pot up and watch it boil over. And I’m not even worried about them beating us because I know that’s not going to happen it’s just the fact that it’s unnecessary. And who in the f*** cares what they’re doing anyways?
Is there a form that WE The People who want America Great can sign to get rid of the predisent, Vice President and get our President Trump back. I am 74 years old and hate to see how this world is going down heel fast. I pray every night that the Lord will protect our soldiers and America from what is happening to this world. If someone starts a petition if there is a way than I will be glad to sign it.
There’s going to be no dialogue between Kim Jong-Un and “dumb ass” Biden! Kim remembers Biden and his dumb ass friend Osama bin laden, and he didn’t talk much to them then. Biden’s barking up a dead tree that had no leaves or squirrels in it! North Korea Korea isn’t that big of an issue to any of us here today, and Biden will fuck up relations that Trump managed to establish. Why is he so worried about NK anyways, maybe because we don’t have any refugees coming from there and he wants more Refugees.
I SAY PISS ON THEM. WHAT THE HELL DO WE NEED THOSE LING MURDERING.STARVING SLAVE DRIVERS SOBS FOR ANYWAY. LET THEM GO ROT IN HELL. HEY HERE IS A GOOD IDEA. LET BIDEN HOLD HANDS WITH THEM WHEN THEY GO.
The only thing scarier than China Joe Biden is kamala Harris or Pelosi becoming President.
Jim K., you need to lay off of the kool-aid. Biden had zero to do with the development of the vaccine, and the bs about not having any ground work laid is a joke. The infrastructure will not miraculously be put back in order, unless you have a way to have it done at no cost. You apparently have little understanding of the meaning big debt. As for jobs of the 21st Century, raising the minimum wage so high that automation replaces current jobs will greatly affect revenues that the government needs to hand feed ones like yourself. Biden and his family and friends, just like many other politicians, have gotten wealthy by sucking off of the taxpayers for most of his life. Now who is the real con man?
The leader of North Korea maybe a fat pig, but he’s not as stupid as President Joe Bites me.
Kim knows what’s up biden is not the president…
All Kamala has to do to become president is to come up behind Biden and yell, “SURPRISE!!!”
Impeach Biden. What are you thinking? Then guess who gets to be President? Harris. Really? Some of you need to really to think these things thru to the end of line.
Biden likes to be a bully and push his weight around. He is so interested in out doing Trump that because of his pride and arrogance he will take us into war. He has never made a good decision when it comes to foreign policy. North Korea remembers he in Obama. Expect nothing. Biden is not a negotiator. Putin is not going to play with Biden. Once Biden placed executive orders on our lead in fossil fuels. Putin is going to use this time to increase his ability to supply gas to Europe and Eastern Europe.
