SEOUL - The US point man for North Korea is due to visit South Korea next week as it pushes for a resumption of talks with the North ahead of the US election and despite few signs of any progress.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in has said US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un should meet again before the US election in November, and on Thursday, South Korea's foreign minister said Seoul is pushing for a resumption of US-North Korea talks. Last month, North Korea abruptly raised tension with South Korea and blew up an inter-Korean liaison office, just on its side of the border, before just as suddenly announcing it would suspend plans for unspecified military actions against the South.
"It's hard to imagine a scenario where the North Koreans would be compelled to come back to the table unless the US 'offer' was drastically different than it's been in the past," said Ms Jenny Town, of 38 North, a think-tank focusing on North Korea.
