WASHINGTON: In talks with North Korea on Monday, the US top representative called Pyongyang's demands hostile and unnecessary. The US said that its deadline has ended, but the door is open for fresh talks. The US statement comes at a time when Pyongyang has said that if Washington fails to accept our proposal, it will adopt a so-called unspecified new approach.

It is being said that after talks by US Special Representative Stephen Beagan and his North Korean counterpart Kim Myong-gil, the US said that Pyongyang's demands were hostile and unnecessary. He said that now the deadline has ended. However, the US further said in its statement that all the possibilities for fresh dialogue still exist.
In February 2019, talks between US President Donald Trump and top North Korean leader Kim Jong Un failed in Vietnam's capital Hanoi. After this, the nuclear talks at the executive level in Sweden between the officials of the 2 countries also failed. Negotiation ended without a decision due to differences between Pyongyang and Washington over the compensation in exchange for the Korean Peninsula free of nuclear weapons. The relationship became more bitter after continued testing by North Korea. The first summit between Trump and Kim took place in Singapore in June 2018. This dialogue was positive but could not reach any conclusion. The agreement included advancing bilateral relations, establishing long-term and stable peace on the Korean peninsula, and making the peninsula completely free of nuclear weapons.
