North Korea and US Show Signs of Resuming Dialogue, South Korean Lawmaker Says

A Seoul intelligence briefing said talks could resume at any time, but officials confirmed no specific contacts between Pyongyang and Washington.

  • On Tuesday, South Korean lawmaker Youn Kun-young told reporters that North Korea and the United States may resume dialogue, citing an assessment from Seoul's National Intelligence Service that talks could occur at any time.
  • President Donald Trump said last month he plans to meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un later this year after scaling back military exercises between the United States and South Korea; the leaders previously met three times in 2018 and 2019.
  • Frequent state media appearances indicate North Korea is positioning Kim Jong-un's daughter as his successor, with the National Intelligence Service assessing she is in the process of being appointed to the role.
  • Kim Yo-Jong, sister of Kim Jong-un, denied claims that Pyongyang planned to send 50,000 troops to Russia, while the NIS assessed there is a "very low possibility" that North Korea would currently deploy additional forces to Ukraine.
  • Lawmaker Yoo Yeong-ha revealed that the National Intelligence Service obtained a blueprint of a North Korean missile and an internal document regarding Pyongyang's ruling party, providing further intelligence on the regime's activities.
