CNN Wed April 19, 2017
On board the USS Ronald Reagan, Japan (CNN)The United States will not be negotiating directly with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un anytime soon, Vice President Mike Pence told CNN in an exclusive interview.
"The only thing we need to hear from North Korea is that they are ending and ultimately dismantling their nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles program," Pence said aboard the USS Ronald Reagan at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan.
As a candidate, President Donald Trump said he would be willing to speak with Kim. But asked Wednesday if he envisioned direct negotiation between North Korea and the US, Pence replied, "not at this time."
"The policy of President Trump is to marshal the support of our allies in the region -- Japan, South Korea, nations around the world, and China," Pence said.

Yes, diplomacy is hard, why try, just threaten and give cold eye contact in safety, if war starts I have a bunker with golden haired man, the draft dodger and dictator of executive orders.
