‘The ball is in North Korea’s court,’ says Blinken after Biden-Moon summit

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview on Sunday that Washington is now waiting for North Korea to make the next move, following a pledge by Moon and Biden at their Friday summit to pursue “diplomacy and dialogue” with North Korea while vowing to uphold sanctions against the country.
