THREATS FROM NORTH KOREA: US-North Korea communications continue



The US State Department says Washington is in touch with North Korea virtually every day or every other day but has no travel plans to announce for the moment.

According to the State Department spokeswoman, the US is continuing communication with the North, but declined to comment on a report that the North had repeatedly rejected a US proposal for it to cut its nuclear arsenal by 60 to 70 percent within six to eight months.

US officials familiar with the talks, however, told Reuters that North Korea has yet to agree to a timeline for eliminating its nuclear arsenal or to disclose its size, which US estimates at between 30 and 60 warheads.
