Harrison said talks had begun under a process established by the Korean War armistice.
The Spin
Right narrative
Pres. Biden is so weak on North Korea policy that the Communist country doesn’t even bother to answer calls from the Sec. of State — whether it’s about King or talks over the country’s nuclear program. In fact, North Korea’s response to the US has been to just test more missiles. Biden's woke and ineffective policies have made the US less safe, and King is now in peril because of the lack of respect North Korea has for the US.
Left narrative
The US doesn’t have embassy relations with North Korea because it rightfully doesn’t want to legitimize an oppressive regime that has threatened nuclear action against the US and beyond. Under the circumstances, the Biden admin. is doing everything it can to bring King home, because that’s what the UN Command was set up to do. North Korea is launching missiles because it’s scared, not because it’s lost respect for the US.
