Japan has told the United States it is ready to dispatch experts to North Korea to help the country dismantle nuclear facilities toward the “complete denuclearization” of the Korean Peninsula, government sources repeated. If Washington and Pyongyang agree to demolish North Korea’s graphite-moderated reactor at Nyongbyon in the northwest, Tokyo would offer knowledge gained from decommissioning a similar reactor in eastern Japan, the sources said Friday.

Over the past few months, it seems, North Korea's propaganda has been changing its tune. Banners and posters displayed across the capital and other towns have typically featured the US as a brutal imperialist aggressor and South Korea or Japan as Washington's willing allies. But visitors to the country say they've seen those posters replaced by propaganda pushing economic progress and the inter-Korean rapprochement.

Donald Trump has declared that North Korea still poses an “extraordinary threat” to the United States, just days after saying that the country’s nuclear program no longer constituted a danger.

North Korea's Kim Jong-un said he will work with China to secure "true peace" on Wednesday, as Beijing seeks to take the driving seat in fast-paced diplomacy over Pyongyang's nuclear weapons. Kim made the promise to Chinese president Xi Jinping during his third trip to Beijing since March, a visit which observers see as further helping to rebuild historic ties between the two former Cold War allies.

North Korean delegates at cross-border military talks in the truce village of Panmunjom last Thursday offered to move their long-range artillery pieces from the military demarcation line to rear areas, a source said Sunday. The Defense Ministry denied it, but the source said, "The North Korean delegates brought it up first as a matter of principle." This would go a long way toward reducing military tensions. It is not known why the North made the offer or what it expects in return.

President Donald Trump tried to change the schedule of the highly choreographed summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un just hours before it was set to take place but had to be talked out of the idea by staffers who pointed out he’d get less media attention, The Washington Post reported Thursday.

Upcoming military exercises with South Korea have been “suspended indefinitely,” a U.S. official said Thursday. A formal guidance from the Pentagon for the suspension of planned joint exercises in August will be issued shortly, according to several reports.

President Trump is brushing aside concerns about North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s human-rights abuses as he seeks to broker a nuclear deal with the young autocrat.

After enduring a full 25 hours without sleep, President Donald Trump continued to defend North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un and his well-documented history of human rights violations on Tuesday, telling VOA’s Greta Van Susteren that Kim’s just “doing what he’s seen done.” “He’s a rough guy. He has to be a rough guy or he has been a rough person,” Trump told Van Susteren. “But we got along very well. He’s smart, loves his people, he loves his country.”

North Korea's state-run media are already reporting on Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un's trip to Singapore to meet US President Donald Trump - before the 12 June meeting has taken place. It's a big break from Pyongyang's usual behaviour, which doesn't - as a rule - report on Mr Kim's activities until he is safely back in Pyongyang.

South Korea's President Moon Jae-in vowed on Tuesday to write "new history" with North Korea, praising North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's decision to hold a summit with the United States in Singapore.
