Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Friday he can envision the U.S. and North Korea agreeing to hold talks at some point as a precursor to formal negotiations.

"Eventually we’re going to have one of those days where we’re both going to say OK, maybe it’s a good time to have that first conversation," Tillerson told reporters on board a flight from Beijing to Danang, Vietnam. "Not to start negotiations but to have that conversation."
