Preoccupied with its troops in Russia, North Korea unlikely to embrace Trump's overture soon
North Korea criticized US secretary of state Marco Rubio for calling it a "rogue state," signaling continued hostility toward the US. Despite Trump's past diplomatic efforts with Kim Jong Un, Pyongyang remains uninterested in talks, focusing instead on its military alliance with Russia. Experts suggest Kim may reconsider engaging with Trump if post-war relations with Russia weaken, but for now, North Korea prioritizes its role in the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
