Meanwhile, the United States and North Korea are in their third day of talks today. The two sides are discussing normalizing diplomatic relations for the first time in 50 years. North Korea agreed to abandon part of its nuclear program last month. On Tuesday, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill addressed the progress so far.

Christopher Hill: “Obviously we will have continuing differences with North Korea, but I think getting rid of the nuclear aspirations is a very good start, and I know that we could have a relationship with them, albeit a relationship where we will have disagreements on a number of issues as we do with countries throughout the world, but nonetheless, I think a relationship that can move forward.”
