About our US-North Korea news
Latest on US-North Korea relations, marked by conflict and tension, including breaking news and updates on summits, disputes, and military conflicts.
US-North Korea relations have been dictated by the effects of the Korean War (1950-1953) in which the United States was part of a military coalition allied with South Korea.
The United States and North Korea have no formal diplomatic relations. Issues persist between the two nations over North Korea’s nuclear programme, North Korea’s human rights records, the detention of American citizens, America’s military presence in the Korean Peninsula, and its drills with the South Korean military.
