White House contradicts Tillerson on North Korea, adding to confusion US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson appears to have been contradicted by the White House and his own department, after suggesting the US had softened its position on talks with North Korea. Mr Tillerson said on Tuesday that he was ready to open dialogue with Pyongyang, without preconditions. But within a day, the White House and State Department had reiterated the administration's hard line, stressing that North Korea must first commit to abandoning its nuclear weapons. The mixed messages mark the third time in recent months that Mr Tillerson has been publicly at odds with the White House. Speaking at a policy forum in Washington DC on Tuesday, the secretary of state told the audience: "We've said from the diplomatic side we're ready to talk any time North Korea, would like to talk, and we're ready to have the first meeting without precondition." He added: "Let's just meet and let's talk about the weather if you want and talk about whether it's going to be a square table or a round table if that's what you're excited about." - Analysis: Tillerson's tumultuous year - North Korea: What could tip the balance? - What missiles does North Korea have? In response to the remarks, an unnamed White House official told the Reuters news agency on Wednesday: "The administration is united in insisting that any negotiations with North Korea must wait until the regime fundamentally improves its behavior. "As the secretary of state himself has said, this must include, but is not limited to, no further nuclear or missile tests." And Heather Nauert, a spokeswoman for the State Department, tweeted to reiterate the administration position that preconditions apply regarding North Korea's nuclear programme. She said: "Our policy on #DPRK has not changed. Diplomacy is our top priority through our maximum pressure campaign. "We remain open to dialogue when North Korea is willing to conduct a serious & credible dialogue on the peaceful denuclearization, but that time is not now." The contradiction is the latest clash between the White House and the secretary of state. In August, then-White House advisor Sebastian Gorka criticised Mr Tillerson after the secretary of state attempted to moderate President Trump's remarks on North Korea. "The idea that Secretary Tillerson is going to discuss military matters is simply nonsensical, it is the job of Secretary Mattis, the secretary of defence, to talk about military matters," Mr Gorka told the BBC. Then in September, after Mr Tillerson said he had established direct lines of communication with Pyongyang, the president accused the secretary of "wasting his time". "Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!" Mr Trump tweeted. Mr Trump has been widely reported to be considering replacing Mr Tillerson, a former chief executive of energy giant Exxon Mobil. But the president has called the reports fake news. Mr Tillerson has also defended the Obama administration deal to curb Iran's nuclear ambitions, which Mr Trump has railed against and sought to overturn.

उत्तर कोरियाली संकटः वार्तामा जोड संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकाका विदेशमन्त्री रेक्स टिलरसनले कोरियाली प्रायःद्वीपबाट परमाणु अस्त्र हटाउनका लागि उत्तर कोरियासंग वार्ता गर्ने सम्भावना खुला रहेको बताएका छन्। तर उनले अरु देशहरुसमक्ष उत्तर कोरियालाई कूटनीतिक रुपमा एक्ल्याउन आह्वान पनि गरे। संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघको सुरक्षा परिषदको एउटा विशेष बैठकमा बोल्दै उनले भने, "हामी संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघका सदस्य राष्ट्रहरुलाई उनीहरुले उत्तर कोरियाका बारेमा गरेका सबै प्रतिबद्धताहरु लागू गर्न आह्वान गर्दछौं।" उत्तर कोरियाका परमाणु र क्षेप्यास्त्र परीक्षणका बारेमा तनाव बढेको समयमा त्यस्तो बैठक आयोजना गरिएको हो। 'द्वन्द्वको खतरा' त्यसअघिका घटनाक्रममा, अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति डोनल्ड ट्रम्पले आफूले उत्तर कोरियासंगको संकट कुटनैतिक ढंगबाट हल गर्न चाहेको तर यो मुद्दामा ठूलो द्वन्द्व समेत हुन सक्ने बताएका थिए। साथै टिलरसनले एउटा रेडियोसंग कुरा गर्दै, अमेरिकाले उत्तर कोरियामा सरकार ढाल्नका लागि होइन कि त्यहाँ रहेका परमाणु अस्त्र हटाउने उद्देश्यका साथ वार्ता गर्ने बताएका थिए। अमेरिकाको न्याशनल पब्लीक रेडियोसंगको कुराकानीका क्रममा विदेशमन्त्री टिलरसनले अमेरिकाले उत्तर कोरियामा सरकार पतन गराउन खोजेको नभई कोरियाली प्राय:द्वीपलाई परमाणु अस्त्र मुक्त पार्न मात्र खोजेको बताए। गाह्रो प्रयास राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तर कोरियासंग उस्को परमाणु र क्षेप्यास्त्र कार्यक्रमहरु बारेको विवादमा आफूले कुटनीतिक परिणाम चाहेको तर त्यस्तो नतिजा हासिल हुन निकै गाह्रो भएको बताएका थिए। "उत्तर कोरियासंग हाम्रो निकै ठूलो स्तरको द्न्द्व हुन सक्ने सम्भावना निश्चय पनि छ," उनको भनाई थियो। राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले आफ्ना चिनीयां समकक्षी शी जीनपींगको प्रसंशा गर्दै उनले उत्तर कोरियामाथि दबाब बढाउन ठूलो प्रयास गरिरहेको पनि बताएका थिए। यसैबीच, उत्तर कोरियाले पनि ह्वाईट हाउस र अमेरिकी विमानवाहक पानी जहाजहरुमाथि हमला भएको जस्तो देखाउने गरी नक्कली रुपमा तयार पारिएका प्रोपागाण्डा चलचित्रहरु सार्वजनिक गरेको छ। त्यसअघि रुसका राष्ट्रपति भ्लादिमिर पुटिनले उत्तर कोरियासंग वार्ता पुन आरम्भ गर्न आह्वान गरेका थिए। मस्कोमा जापानी प्रधानमन्त्री शिन्जो आबेसंगको भेटपछि बोल्दै पुटिनले यो मुद्दामा सम्बद्ध सबैपक्षले 'झगडा चर्काउने' खाले शब्दावली प्रयोग नगर्न आग्रह पनि गरेका थिए।
