The White House ruled out talks with North Korea over its nuclear arsenal just days after Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the U.S. was talking to North Korea “directly, through our own channels.”
White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters Monday that "now is not the time to talk.” She added that the U.S. was interested solely in talks over freeing three U.S. citizens held by the reclusive regime.
