US hopes North Korea talks to go ahead despite Pyongyang threat

[WASHINGTON] The United States said Tuesday that it hoped to hold denuclearisation talks with North Korea despite a warning from Pyongyang that US-South Korea military exercises could impact the planned resumption.

"We look forward, of course, to resuming those negotiations and we hope to talk, always, so we can advance progress," State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus told reporters.
