US says, it is ready for talks with North Korea over its nuclear disarmament without preconditions. Speaking on 'Meeting the Foreign Policy Challenges of 2017 and Beyond' organised by the 2017 Atlantic Council- Korea Foundation Forum in Washington, US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson said, Washington is ready to talk anytime Pyongyang would like to talk, and ready to have the first meeting without precondition. However, he said full North Korean nuclear disarmament would be the ultimate goal of substantive negotiations. <br/><br/>The offer also marks a shift from Tillerson's own previous comments that the US would not negotiate its way to the negotiating table with North Korea and that it would only talk once the regime was ready to address its de-nuclearisation.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, the White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement that there had been no change in the views of the president on North Korea. She said North Korea is acting in an unsafe way not only toward Japan, China, and South Korea, but the entire world.
