Seoul-Washington combined drills have been halted back in June as a gesture of good faith

to North Korea.

Well now, the U.S. opened the door to restarting the exercise the regime dreads.

However, the South Korean government claims to have heard nothing of the resumption,...

adding it's a subject that need to be discussed.

Park Hee-jun has our top story.

South Korea's presidential office says the issue of suspending joint military exercises

with the United States requires further discussion between the two countries.

This comes after U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis said at a news conference at

the Pentagon on Tuesday, local time,... that the U.S. has no future plans to call off any

drills with South Korea.

(English) - Reuters 3055 "We have no plans at this time to suspend

any more exercises.

We will work very closely, as I said, with the Secretary of State, and what he needs

done we will certainly do to reinforce that effort.

But at this time there is no discussion about further suspensions."

Earlier in June after the Kim-Trump summit in Singapore,... Mattis announced that the

U.S. had "suspended" the exercises "indefinitely."

As a result,... the annual Ulchi Freedom Guardian exercise was cancelled in August.

Just hours after Mattis made his latest remarks,...

Blue House Spokesperson Kim Eui-kyeom told reporters that South Korea and U.S. had not

discussed the matter.

Although the earlier decision only applied to this year's exercises,... he said that

any changes in the agreement will be negotiated in step with the progress made in denuclearization

talks between Pyongyang and Washington.

South Korea's foreign ministry says it sees the comments as an extension of Washington's

previous agreement with Seoul to suspend the joint exercises, and that no new agreement

has been made.

It added that it will continue to work closely with the U.S. for the denuclearization of

the Korean Peninsula.

Seoul's defense ministry also says that it had heard nothing of Mattis' announcement,...

and that the issue has not yet been discussed by the two sides.

North Korea, Japan held secret meeting in Vietnam last month, didn't inform U.S.: WP - Duration: 1:53.

Last month, Japan's senior officials sat down for talks with their North Korean counterparts,

with the main topic likely being the regime's abduction of its citizens

Apparently Tokyo arranged the meeting without keeping the U.S. in the loop... as they feel

the issue cannot be resolved by depending on Washington alone.

For details let's turn to our Oh Jung-hee.

It's being reported that North Korea and Japan held secret talks in Vietnam last month,...

WITHOUT informing the United States.

The Washington Post reports the talks were held in July between the head of Japan's Cabinet

Intelligence and Research Office, Shigeru Kitamura,... and Kim Song-hye, the North's

senior official in charge of reunification.

The report says senior U.S. officials expressed irritation Tokyo did not provide information

about the meeting.

But it added Japanese officials believe they cannot solely rely on the U.S. to solve the

issue of Japanese nationals abducted by the North in the 1970s and 80s.

The issue has been a stumbling block in Pyongyang and Tokyo improving their relations... and

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has continuously called on the U.S. to try and resolve it.

Meanwhile, a Japanese tourist who was detained in North Korea was sent home on Tuesday.

Tomoyuki Sugimoto,... who is said to be a video journalist, arrived in Tokyo on Tuesday

after flying in from China.

He was reportedly detained in early August for filming a military facility in Nampo,...

a city located some 50 kilometers southwest of Pyongyang.

Japan's foreign ministry plans to question him on why and how he was detained, what he

had to go through before being released... and what North Korea's intentions are.

Sources say Sugimoto could have been released after such a short period of time because

his alleged crime was relatively minor.

U.S. defense chief hints at resuming military exercises with South Korea - Duration: 2:31.

The South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises had been a major source of animosity with

North Korea over the years.

So one of the most substantial outcomes from the Trump-Kim summit in June was the suspension

of these drills, which acted to immediately lower tensions.

But the caveat had always been that if North Korea were ever to renege on its promises

of denuclearization, the drills could be brought back at any time.

It seems the U.S. is now reminding the North that it holds that card.

Our Cha Sang-mi has this report.

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis says,... while no decisions have been made about joint

military exercises with South Korea for next year,... the U.S. military also has no plans

to suspend them.

Speaking during a news conference at the Pentagon on Tuesday,... Mattis said the suspension

of the drills this past summer was a good-faith gesture to North Korea,... but it was not

open-ended.

"We have no plans at this time to suspend any more exercises.

We will work very closely, as I said, with the Secretary of State, and what he needs

done we will certainly do to reinforce that effort.

But at this time there is no discussion about further suspensions."

The comments come at a delicate time for negotiations between Washington and Pyongyang,... after

President Trump scrapped a meeting between top officials from both countries.

At their summit in Singapore in June,...

President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un agreed in broad terms to work toward

the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

However,... North Korea has given no indication that it's willing to give up its nuclear weapons

unilaterally,... as the Trump administration has demanded.

Mattis also defended the Trump administration's approach to North Korea during the press conference,

saying the U.S. "knew very clearly" that it was going to be "a long and challenging effort."

The traditional U.S. calendar for major military exercises does not pick up until next spring,...

which gives diplomats and military planners time.

The calendar hits a high point every spring with the Foal Eagle and Max Thunder drills,...

which take months to plan.

South Korea's foreign ministry said on Wednesday, that it understands Mattis' comments as an

extension of Washington's previous agreement with Seoul to suspend the joint-exercises,

and that no new agreement has been made.

Seoul added that it will continue to work closely with the U.S. with unwavering commitment

toward the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

U.S. defense chief hints at resuming military exercises with South Korea - Duration: 2:03.

The United States has strongly hinted that its joint military drills with South Korea

could soon be back on.

The allies decided to put the exercises on ice earlier this year,... but that could be

about to change.

Lee Seung-jae reports.

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis says,... while no decisions have been made about joint

military exercises with South Korea for next year,... the U.S. military also has no plans

to suspend them.

However,... North Korea has given no indication that it's willing to give up its nuclear weapons

Mike Pompeo that denuclearization talks are at risk of falling apart.

The calendar hits a high point every spring with the Foal Eagle and Max Thunder drills,...

statements,... which nearly derailed the June summit between Kim and Trump.

U.S. to engage with North Korea if Pyongyang stands ready to commit to denuclearize - Duration: 2:27.

Mike Pompeo's visit to North Korea was cancelled last minute, raising a lot of questions on

the state of Washington's relations with the regime.

The top diplomat shared his view on the developments.

Pyongyang will need to show some visible follow-through on agreements made during the Singapore summit.

Lee Ji-won has our top story.

The U.S. stands ready to engage when it is clear that North Korea is prepared to deliver

on the commitments it made at the June 12th Singapore summit to completely denuclearize.

This is U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's take on the current situation, following the

cancellation of his fourth trip to Pyongyang.

It was shared by the department's spokesperson Heather Nauert at a briefing on Tuesday.

Pompeo's statement went on to say that the world is united behind the need for North

Korea to fulfill that commitment and that members of the UN Security Council have voted

to call upon North Korea to abandon all nuclear weapons.

He said the final, fully verified denuclearization of Pyongyang is the world's goal and the world

is looking forward to North Korea's compliance with the resolutions for a brighter future

for its people.

This comes after a Washington Post report claimed that Trump canceled Pompeo's trip

due to a belligerent letter from a senior North Korean official, which convinced the

President that the planned visit would not be successful.

And on Tuesday, CNN reported that the letter stated Pyongyang felt talks couldn't move

forward because "the U.S. is still not ready to meet North Korea's expectations in terms

of taking a step forward to sign a peace treaty."

Pyongyang has been urging Washington to declare the end of the Korean War.

CNN cited three sources with direct knowledge on the issue who said that if a compromise

cannot be reached, Pyongyang could resume "nuclear and missile activities",... hinting

of the possibility that denuclearization talks are "at stake and may fall apart".

Meanwhile, U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley said it's a possibility that North Korea

may be changing its mind on denuclearization at a conference on Tuesday.

But she made the remarks to stress that regardless, the U.S. will not change its mind on sanctions

and how it looks at the North's nuclear threats.

She warned there's always more it can do in terms of sanctions, but Washington will continue

to try and do that along with its diplomatic efforts.
