The American Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says North Korea could signal that it is ready for talks by halting its missile tests. On Monday, Tillerson said, “We’ve not had an extended period of time where they have not taken some type of provocative action by launching ballistic missiles.” The top U.S. diplomat went on to say that the strongest signal North Korea could send would be to “just stop these missile launches.” Tillerson spoke in Manilla, the Philippines, where he was taking part in a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. His comments follow a United Nations Security Council vote on Saturday. All members of the council, including China and Russia, voted to place additional sanctions on North Korea for its missile tests on July 4 and 28.
