Absolutely. We have been clear since the Biden administration came on board that we are prepared to have an open dialogue with the North Koreans without preconditions.

We absolutely support Israel's right to defend itself from this brutal attack on its own territory that we all witnessed at over the weekend.

We have held the doors open for meaningful diplomacy and we remain open to dialogue, real productive dialogue without preconditions.

Basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements.
