Colbert's solution to Trump nuclear button threats
Later, South Korea's unification minister Cho Myoung-Gyon said Seoul was willing to hold talks with the North at "any time and place in any form".
Does Pakistan want to be another North Korea? If South Korea can enhance ties with North Korea, why can't the USA and other countries?
A South Korean official suggested forming an inter-Korean pair skating team to compete in the upcoming Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games, JoongAng Ilbo reported Tuesday, citing President of the South and North Korean Sports Exchange Association Kim Kyung Sung.
Moon has long advocated engagement with the North to bring it to the negotiating table, while the USA has insisted that it first take concrete steps towards disarmament.
The rival Koreas are seeking to improve their strained ties after a period of rising tension over the North's push to expand its nuclear and missile arsenals, but the US and its allies are making it clear that while the military drills are on hold, pressure on North Korea won't let up.
Pyongyang has yet to respond to Seoul's proposal for talks, which came in response to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un saying his country could discuss its possible participation in the Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, next month. His statement was followed by the move for North-South talks, and then the suspension of the U.S. "The initial request for delaying the Games was, 'Look let's not antagonize North Korea, let's delay them to have a quiet Games.' Given the New Year's Day speech, it's, 'Hey, this could be a vehicle for improving relations"'.

Lawyer: Gophers' Lynch denies sexual assault allegations

After a year of escalating tensions, President Donald Trump gave room for North Korea and South Korea to improve ties ahead of next month's Winter Olympics, delaying military exercises and praising tentative plans for talks after earlier shunning such diplomatic efforts.
Unable to cross into South Korea by land, majority of the defectors choose to cross the Amnok or Tumen rivers to reach China and from there to a third country - mainly Thailand and Mongolia - where they ask for asylum at South Korean embassies and consulates, something they can not do in Beijing.
That policy has been consistent under President Donald Trump, unlike in previous administrations, Mike Pompeo, director of the Central Intelligence Agency, said in an interview on Fox News.
South Korean Marines take position on a beach during the Foal Eagle military exercise in Pohang on April 2, 2017.
In his New Year speech, Kim said the country had completed its nuclear deterrent - Pyongyang says it needs to defend itself against a U.S. invasions - and he had a "nuclear button on my desk". Before his reckless tweet about his "Button", Trump struck a more appropriate note: "Perhaps that is good news, perhaps not - we will see!"
