South Korea says US-North Korea talks possible, rules out Hormuz deployment

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung said on Friday that United States President Donald Trump wants dialogue with Pyongyang and confirmed Seoul will not be deploying troops to intervene militarily in the Iran war. “Trump clearly ⁠wants dialogue ⁠with North ⁠Korea,” Lee said on Friday. He added that while such talks are uncertain, they are not impossible. South Korea was continuing “preliminary coordination efforts” to facilitate dialogue between North Korea and the US. “The resumption of North Korea-US dialogue would be far easier than resuming inter-Korean dialogue,” he said, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.
