TILLERSON: U.S. SEEKS DIALOGUE WITH N. KOREA

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Tuesday the United States does not seek a regime change in North Korea and would agree to a dialogue with the secretive nation if it abandons its nuclear weapons program.

“We’re trying to convey to the North Koreans, we are not your enemy,” Tillerson said at a State Department briefing. “We’re not your threat, but you are presenting an unacceptable threat to us, and we have to respond.”
