US President Trump is open to renewed talks with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to revive denuclearization efforts, the White House confirmed. However, Kim's sister warned against pressure to disarm, calling such efforts a “mockery” and suggesting talks depend on US acceptance of current realities.

The powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un dismissed the U.S.'s intent to resume diplomacy on North Korea’s denuclearization, as she urged Washington to accept her country as a nuclear weapons state and find a new approach to restart talks.
