Head of hugely popular N. Korea girl band to visit S. Korea

Kim Jong Un

"We have to recognise that the threat is growing and if North Korea does not choose the pathway of engagement, discussion, negotiation, then they themselves will trigger an option", Tillerson said.

White House chief of staff John Kelly would not comment on whether President Donald Trump has spoken with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, but admitted he hopes war does not break out on the Korean peninsula. Leaders from North Korea and South Korea came together on January 16, to agree to march together in the opening ceremony under a unification flag.

The senator will deliver a speech at Georgetown University on Thursday night about the risks of a North Korean conflict.

North Korea suddenly making nice for the duration of next month's Olympic Games in South Korea, putting seven decades of enmity on hold for 16 days with its offers to send athletes and entertainers across their heavily militarized border, won't fundamentally change what happens next. He added that North Korea is getting "closer every day" to being able to strike the US.

The art troupe, named Samjiyon, includes orchestra members, singers and dancers, according to South Korean negotiators who attended Monday's talks.

The IOC has said that Saturday's meeting would take a series of "essential decisions" on the North's participation at the Games that open in Pyeongchang on February 9.

One of the North Korean delegates to the talks was Hyon Song Wol, the head of the band, fueling speculation that North Korea might send the band. "Obviously, they say they're not, but we certainly don't get the same assurances from them that we receive from the Chinese".

The book's sales reflect "rapidly surging anti-Trump sentiments in the global community", the North Korean article said. North Korea also agreed to send a large delegation of athletes, supporters and performers.

However, it too is resisting calls to ban all fuel shipments.

South and North also agreed to allow a cheering squad of the pro-Pyongyang General Association of Korean Residents in Japan.

The actual team of North Korean athletes could be in single figures or as many as 15.

"They're not there yet, but they're close".
